    Post Job transfer

    Well after more than a year hating on my job et. al. I finally got a transfer, and pay-cut as I'm no longer on-call. Jokes on me I guess,
    but at least I get my evenings/weekends back...

    Very early on in my career I had a position where I had to carry a pager (anybody remember pagers?). I hated that damn thing and once I resigned I resolved that I would NEVER take another position where I was always on call.

    So Shades,
    So how do you feel about the trade-off? Is the paycut versus having evenings & weekends to yourself worth it? Just curious.
    I would assume it depends on how much the cut was. Something like 5% would definitely be different than something like 25%.

    Pretty close to that 5%, so yeah not a big hit in the scheme of things, but I need to
    pay down more of this debt. Plus I have some future plans, that I know will cost a
    fortune.. lol.

    I should really start a business again, and stop working for others.
