Talking with one of my customers (http://camco.net/) about my situation, they offered me a job. I thought there's no way I could stay in one place and be happy, let alone the fact I would work myself out of a job in a few years.
Never did I think after 6 years I would still have a job and be so happy. Now I have 2 other Electricians working for me as well as overseeing electrical projects in our other plants.
I am truly blessed.

That's a great story, and I'm real glad that things turned out so well!

Never give up, never surrender!

Thanks for sharing.
