all this talk about money made me add up some numbers......doing it the yuppie way, i figured out i make over 70K/yr right now, going to just over 90K in sept. thats all without overtime. no one ever thinks of it in yearly terms because you barely take home 60% of it, and in this area youre lucky if you work a full year.

yea dude, if all of union guys worked everyday for a year we'd clean up pretty good especially with overtime!! Alot of the times when a job ends or i get laid off I hide for a couple weeks
