You pay me handsomely, but a few things are becoming a problem. In the last two years you have done nothing to facilitate my work, except for keeping the rain off of it.

Even though I only work 5-6 hours a day, it is fucking with my ankles, my knees, my back and neck (there is a bulet in there).

As such, I tender my resignation conditionally. At the end of 2007 I will be no longer working there, unless the following changes are in place. I mean done, not just started.

How do I get off saying this shit to you, making demands so to speak, well let me tell you.

I am the only motherfucker in this shop who can read a print, use a scope and really understands electronics. I do things for you that NOBODY else will do, even if they could. I pulled your as out of the fire more than once, and it is you who put yourself there in the first place. I am done playing panty cakes with you, so here is the deal.

You want hours ? cool, the deal is the same, but I will be second in command of the company immediately. I will order parts, I will deal with the squeaky wheels and I will decide what is scrap.

My work area is to be completely rebuilt to my specifications.

Unless you comply within a month, consider this my resignation as of 12/31/07.

If you want me back after that time, my pay shall be 150% of what it was, and you shall tell all in your employ to accomodate me first.

I can singlehandedly make you $1,000 a day, if I had the right environment.

You will accomodate me or look for someone else to fill this position, and you know that is near impossible.

Who is the boss now ?

I'm sure we've all wanted to say similar words to our superiors. If you tone it down a bit, you have a valid argument for a big raise. I would give it a shot.

Thanks, it did kinda feel good.

A raise is not what I am after, I am already making so much that I don't even think abiout money, what I want is a bit of creature comforts. A proper work area, proper equipment and so forth.

See, they just don't realize that I can just jump out of the field like I had never been there. I can build a house. I can build a car.

And I am talking from scratch, with modern things I could get done alot quicker.

I do not need to work in that field, I just do because it is the easiest and most lucrative, wouldn't you ? I could lay cement and make a grand a week, but I would have to work more than 25 hours.

Y'know, it's getting where I really feel for people with no earning power. Like on Judge Judy, aaaaaaa $1,200 a month. That would barely pay for my beer and cigarettes. Of course I am including the 'left handers'. Gasoline would break me at $1,200 a month. Food would kill me at $1,200 a month.

I made that kind of money when I was twenty, but that was the 80s. Fill your tank for $10, now it's more like $60.

I always had fast cars, and I am going to dump this Buick and get something good. Fuck it, you only live once.

Now if I can just find a 1970 Olds Toronado in good shape for less than eight grand I'll be relativerly happy. Now that was a car. I outran motorcycles in that thing, not because it was so fast, not that it wasn't, but the handling was superb. You could literally be doing 80 MPH and just whip the wheel and it would turn.

It took LR tires, which are the equivalent of truck tires now, I put a JR on it and every time I powered into a turn the rim hit the ground, and there was 80 PSI in it. That was my spare. Oh well.

You think it's hard to find a 70 Toro ? Try getting rims for one.

I'd drive right over the boss's Benz, you just don't know how much torque this thing had.

Not sure if its the same in the US, but here its "patty cake" (not panty cake, which sounds a bit weird to me!)

If you can make your boss USD 1k a day - couldnt you do it for yourself?

When I had a "real job" I tended to take the opposite approach.

Get a job offer. Go in to my boss and simply point out what I was offered and that the company had X amount
of time to counter or I was going to accept the offer.
