Awesome Andy! Considering the pay, the responsibility and the commute I would have to say "Win, Win, Win".

Way to go improving your quality of life!!! Maybe you should right a book and let us, the less fortunate know how it's done.

Fred,

My commute is half the distance and I don't have to drive on I-77 into Cleveland everyday. In a typical morning I can get half the distance in one third of the travel time. It's not unusual to spend 30-40 minutes traveling the last seven miles on I-77.

Actually, I can travel the South Chagrin and Bedford Metroparks parkway most of the ride.

Well, more pay and less work is a win, win, win, win!! Congrats to you, Andy!

Great news Andy, congratulations.

Congrats Andy. That is really good news. Is your commute any shorter?

Congratulations, Andy. I assume that puts you into a postition of hiring and firing. Give it a couple of weeks to see who isn't pulling their weight, and fire them! Hire Alain and me. We won't pull our weight either, but think of the fun we'll have! WAHOO!

Congratulations Andy! Now, how bout signing me up for a program like that? That is just great news and I can imagine you are greatly relieved about not maintaining the network and technical responsibilities. Still, with leading the programmers you will have plenty of job inspiration without the monkey business. Bob

Good for you my friend. I believe that what you have achieved is what all of us would hope for. That or retirement. It must be kind of scary to leave a place that you have been with for sooo...

Finally addressed the fourth component of my stressors. After 25 years of affiliation and 10 years of employment, I'm leaving my current job to work for the 'competition'. The good part, I'm move one or two notches down the food chain. My current job is Director of Information Services... new title... Manager of Application Deveopment. I still have to manager 15-20 programmers (kind of like a day care) and project managers, but get to lose the network and technical...

Andy,

Thanks again for the fine offer. I'm glad you are back.

Welcome back Andy. You're welcome here and at the September rally on a bike, off a bike, in a Miata or on a mule. Good to have you home.

Rick,

Silver bikes ARE the best, does not matter if the are T's or Wings.

If you get an oppourtunity to own a wing, go for it. I put 34k miles on my bike in three years. I cannot think of a better bike to suck up 500-800 miles a day. If you have any wing questions, fire away. I've been inside that bike...

Andy.....I lost my Almost Brother about this time last year and the idea of losing another brother was hard for me to accept. I'm glad to read that this is not the case. It's good that you are still with us and your issues are resolved.

I'm glad that I can still say that I'm looking forward to 'talking' with you more in the future.

1st - You offended me with all those post about Silver "T's" being the best!
2nd - You really pissed me off when you bought that Wing! You knew how bad I wanted one and you should have waited for me to get one first!
3rd - That avatar resembles me a bunch, and I don't remember giving you permission to use my likeness!

Now here is the...

Andy, I knew that you were under a lot of stress, if nothing more than from making the decision to give up riding itself. It's never an easy decision and neither is selling your dream bike. Dan is not gone either, but felt the need to take a break from all the forums he visits. He and I both feel that we spend too much time on them as a whole and need to cut back some of them. For me at least...this forum will not be one of the ones to get cut. I will, however, try to limit my input to...

Andy, I wish you the best, and am glad to hear that you've decided to stick around. Miata, Motorhome, or Motorcycle...the friendship and camaraderie is the important part!

Good Luck!

I've decided to end my participation in this forum, and some how felt the need to add one more post rather than dry up and blow off the face of the earth.

This forum was great. I fondly remember my first days as a proud T owner and finding this resource. The friendship and support of riding was second to none. Recently, I and another brother have...
