After 10 years in sales I'm walking away from the car business. I don't know how it is in the rest of the country, but in my area business stinks.

Looks like I'm going back in the movie theatre business(Hollywood 18, Asst. Mgr.,pending background check). Zach, I didn't have to sell the Mach, a friend of Deb's offerd me my payoff of $22,500 so I took him up on it. Now I just have to get this job so I can buy a car.

Thanks Scott. I keep telling myself things have to get better, 'cause they sure can't get much worse. I wish God would take back the last 3 mos.. Right now Im just waiting on the theatre to call me and let me know if I got the job. With 22 years past experience in the theatre business I can't imagine not getting the job.
