Good if they treated everyone like they treated me and my wife when we were remolding our bathrm which Im sure they do.Im not surprised at all if they go out of business. I have had really bad experiences with home depot and what suck is when I got married we had a registry threw Home depot so most of my bath fixture were from there and it was just a huge headache well my general really sucked too

Im a commercial Electrician just recently came over to the non union side of the trade and I can say the grass is alot greener on the other side. My wife is in school full time to be a RN maybe in the future she can give me my injects. When shes out I am thinking about going back to school and getting into another career construction is slowly taking its toll on my body

I'm a drug and alcohol counselor, but I can't stand it any more so I'm looking to do something different. Not sure what, though :rolleyes:.

Noble profession...

I'm not anti drugs or alcohol, but do understand there are many who either over do them, or who simply need help to stop doing them for one way or another.

I'd rather see counselors than jail time for those people ;)

I started out with noble intentions, but after twenty years I've learned the underlying truth; no alcoholic or drug addict can simply choose to stop. If you're able to choose you may abuse chemicals but you're not an alcoholic or addict - and no-one who is not so afflicted can ever really understand what it's like. The only way for 95% of the people I see to quit is for them to hit bottom where the only choice is quit or die. Many die. Most of the rest make it three months, a year, five years but they get complacent and think they're healed - and before you know it they're back where they left off and going downhill. I used to think I could help, after all if I could get clean and sober (and I was heavy into a few things) then people would listen to my experience and get better.

But they don't, and I'm burned out. I think my least favorite clients are alcoholics, especially the ones who drive while drunk. I will drop a client immediately if I find out they've done that even once. As long as they can function no matter what damage they're doing to their families and loved ones they keep going. The kids.....I can't watch the kids growing up all ****ed up any more when there's nothing I can do, and when I realized I was beginning to despise especially the fathers, smug and righteous and mean as snakes I knew it was time to quit.

I don't want to go back to school, though, money's tight due to some ill-advised investments so I'm looking around. I know the solution will present itself, it always does if you watch for it!
