Man, I'm going to feel bad if I'm the one to ruin a good joke... But I honestly can't remember. Are/were you self employed? Or running your own business? Something like that? Or were you really an employee and only now get to set out on your own?

You have got to love it, well what comes around goes around. They will get their due.

Until today, I was a media support specialist (graphics support, technical illustration and video and training materials production) for Tokyo Electron America. But, I have been wearing some different hats on the weekends: cattleman (raising cows), contractor (strawbale house)....that may be the source of confusion.

Ok, I was thinking that you were "retiring" from running your own business, telling off your "boss" (yourself), and just going to go play with your dozer! Since that's not the case, congratulations! I just hope your new employer doesn't turn out to treat you worse!

Way to go Randy! Now you need a dozer trailer that has also has room for a W123 or W126 behind it. You never know what you might run across....

I thought the booked dozer work for January was a Ripvanwinkel gig, as in sleeping for days in a row.... i.e. dozing, sawing logs, counting sheep etc....

Skip the "boss" deal, and work for yourself.......that's where all the money is anyway. Getting fired==opportunity.

I think you should **** in the toilet tank on your last day.

I prefer to call it 'self-employed'. Nearly ten years ago I decided if I had to work for my boss one more day, I would wind up on his roof, either jumping or shooting!
Quitting was the best decision I ever made.

Happy Motoring, Mark

There's no way I'd have made the money I've made working for another guy's shop. Too damn easy on your own, and tons more money.

Most people are scared to go out on their own, so that's where they gotcha!

Congrats, Randy! I can tell you, it's a relief to get out of a crappy job, working for an *********. Merry Christmas.
