I have no boss… im free

I was laid off on 10/29/08… yep. canned. At the time I was devastated. My wife was almost nine months pregnant. In retrospect I should have tried a little harder to not let it get me down. The good news is that I was only unemployed for 3 days. I must admit though, I would have loved nothing more than to leech off unemployment, but, I decided to do the right thing and go back to work. Personnel Express found a temp job working for a company called CB&I. It was probably the most ridiculous job I’d ever had in my life. Pay was $10 per hour and out of a 40 hour work week I only did about 30 minutes of actual work per day. My boss actually told me to bring a book to work to fight the boredom…. lol I was a timekeeper for different crews that worked on those HUGE power plants. A few days in, someone came into my office and told me a story that changed my life forever. A few coworkers wanted to celebrate another worker who had been with this company for 30 years. You know what the owner told them? “I’m not going to thank that son of a bitch! I gave him a job, didn’t I?” …. That’s when I decided to start my own business and NEVER work for undeserving assholes… ever. Well, I’m on week three and everything is going AWESOME. I’m making more money now than ever before and for once I enjoy work. Waking up for work has never felt this good
