Hello Wayne - 

--8<--cut 

CA>> It feels good to be really good at what you are doing and
CA>> when you can organize it and become efficient it is a
CA>> pleasure. 

WC> And I got my revenge without doing anything unethical. 

--8<--cut 

WC> effortlessly. Well the first printer... Steve wanted to try
WC> his hand on the second :-) 

I've never really been able to get revenge. Even the two owners
who died within a year of firing me two weeks before Christmas
remain as an unpleasant memory for me. A customer who was angry
with _them_ threatened me and I didn't back down so they fired
me. 

CA>> Problem is no one pays for that. I had a manager admit to
CA>> me that I did the work of three people and had slowed to
CA>> two people. It was messing up his scheduling you see and
CA>> he wondered if I could go back to three. Seriously. I
CA>> eventually left because of that conversation. I wasn't
CA>> being paid three times what the other people were paid and
CA>> I began to resent their expectations. 

WC> I was all but psychotic towards the end from all the
WC> hassles. During my 7 years at that plant they maimed
WC> numerous people and I count myself lucky I wasn't one of
WC> them. I did take two trips to an emergency room for safety
WC> problems I'd reported months in advance in one case and 2
WC> weeks in advance in the second case. 

I had a 5 ton piece of kirksite (mold) I was working on on two
metal sawhorse. I stepped on a cross brace and it fell off! I
refused to work on the mold and they had the owners brother
weld up new sawhorse to _my_ specifications from small I beams
so that I would continue to work on the molds. ;-) He did a
great job of it too. 

--8<--cut 

WC> telemarketing on a Sunday when no-one was there. A toxic
WC> mist was everywhere and rocks covered in acid were breaking
WC> in half and popping like popcorn from reactions to the
WC> acid. A main gas line ran right through where that was
WC> dumped as well. I never had trouble with the electrical
WC> workers union when I was hanging cable but sure wish
WC> Precisionaire had been a union shop for all concerned
WC> employees they s????d over. 

Same shop with the faulty sawhorse took a contract from GM and
installed those sinks with the two rubber balls on chains. I
knew what they were for but they never warned anyone about the
danger or even told them what the 'sinks' were for. I refused
to work around that equipment and they never asked me to again.
The emergency overflow on that machine was piped directly into
the storm drains (huge mistake and totally illegal).
