Cycle of life
Yesterday at work it was brought to my attention that someone with less experience and who is even afraid of heights and isn't really much use at our current jobsite because of that, got paid more than me.
This sounded unfair to me, so I told Chris (Boss) that I wanted to get paid the same as the other guy. Chris's answer was "Then quit".
So, I unloaded all the tools and such out of my car and put them in his truck, and told him to call me when he wanted to pay what I asked.
This came the day after I had mentally decided that I could actually do this job for a while. I was going to go buy some of my own tools and stuff, and really start giving my best. But with Chris' blatant disregard of my request, which isn't all that surprising considering he never gave all that much respect anyway, I decided I could do the some thing for another company pretty easily, or perhaps even find a better job I was more interested in.
This event has changed my weekend plans, away from clubbing, buying tools, and playing DnD. To drinking other peoples alcohol, pinching pennies, job hunting, and still playing DnD.
