DH has been tired of the treatment and long hours at his job and went to a new dealership and got hired there on the spot! It is next door to his old job, so no longer commute, still just 5 minutes from home. Plus he has to work only 43 hours a week versus 57 at his old job and the healthcare benefits are much better. I hope things go well for him, he's a great salesman the 1# salesman for the region at the old company and was #7 in the Nation, but couldn't sell his frugal couponing wife a car last...
