I've quit two jobs at once (one for the other)

It was one of my first radio jobs WABJ 1490 am. It wasn't full time it was board operator mostly. It was my foot in the door. There was a sign up sheet in the hallway. I took all the games shows or elections I could. Of course I had to get a day job to. I took a position at Ricks Body shop in Addison. It was a collision repair shop but I can do body work I can paint. I told Rick when I took the position that radio was my priority and if I needed a day off to do a remote broadcast or something I would give him fair notice. I had better part of a year in when the head body man got sick. I started doing more at the body shop. Rick seen my ability to do what ever he threw at me. I might be doing a red wings game til 12 or 1 in the morning. Then get up and go to the body shop. Rick approached me one day and he told me if I gave up my radio job he would make me head body man which incurred a significant raise. I've been making 5 dollars an hour at the radio station and 6 dollars an hour at the body shop. I know I've always dream  about the perfect radio job  But isn't this an opportunity?
  I quit the radio station to become head body man at Ricks. For a substantial raise. I guess I should have asked Rick his definition of substantial. He sat me down after I quit my radio job and explained to me I'm going from 6  an hour to 6.25. That's substantial?I'm furious I guess I should have asked more questions. I want to punch the dude right in his face. I removed myself by going to lunch and not coming back. I've quit two jobs one for the other. I think my next job was Clyde construction..whats-best-job-i-ever-quit-if-it-bleeds.html
