Creative Playthings Swingsets

I have the skills to make things happen. Whether in the IT department (networking, programming, management skills, * nix familiarity, etc.), or even on the field (operations of heavy equipment, commercial / residential construction, landscaping , surveying, etc..)

What kills me is that piece of paper with my name on it that said "I can do this kind of thing!". I learned almost everything I know. I do not want a piece of paper that everybody says I'm qualified to do ______. Let me show you and we'll go from there. You want me to test the security of your network, of course. Build your network? Ok You want me to be your SysAdmin, you write a program to help with your work, you build a computer, test / debug your software ... whatsoever. Chances are, I can do. I would not need a piece of paper to say "Yeah, you can!". Yes, education is important. But I am educated. I am self taught.

Anywho, I got my EMT-Basic a few years ago but has since expired. I burned myself after seeing two friends die in a car accident and decided that perhaps EMS was not for me. Nevertheless, I still have all the knowledge stored up top, but little use for this moment. I do not think I can emotionally handle being an EMT more.

So here's the deal .... you work for $ 8.50 an hour for a subcontractor. Your task is to build huge wooden swings (Creative Playthings / Woodplay) all day (2-3 per day, then 2 Pick ups at the warehouse). And do work around cabinets once a week. You leave home at 6am and get home around 20 o'clock every night ... but we do not bill for time you spend on the site (which is 2-3 hours per game average). Your boss is a jerk, and all but one of your colleagues are lying, lazy, cheap, bastards ladle. So your shots work environment.

You somehow turned into your boss and your colleagues *****. Even if you have your hands full with a £ 100 bundle, you try to muscle in 10 "4 hole bolt (while the beam with one arm, move it to line the bolt, then move the bolt with the the other arm, etc.) and all ******* 30 seconds, someone yells at you ... "I need more than 4 inch bolts! Go find me a man bolts! "Or" I'm out of the No. 10'S! Come get me! Go get my gun drill too !".... despite them being perfectly able to walk 10 feet ******* and get them themselves, they use whenever you ..... Thus , laziness.

Your boss does not pay for your mileage, either. You drive 100-200 miles per day on average and get nothing in return. Even if you exceed your *** your mediocre salary ($ 135 a week on OK and $ 235 max on a good week), you grit your teeth and do the job well done (unlike the guys who make $ 15 - $ 20 an hour). Near your paycheck goes into your gas tank each week. Usually, you must use your credit card to get gas by Thursday, only to pay for this crap leave on Monday and start over.

So ....

Today, I stopped. I know that work is hard to find right now but I started this work with $ 0 in my checking account and starting today I have $ 4.74

I'm stuck with my parents, making $ 8.50 an hour (approximately $ 11,000 / year and 80% of this goes back to my boss ... that is $ 5,000 a week, but can not afford me a raise), enslavement day after day, and I have not a damn thing to show for it. I work over 40 hours per week almost every week, but I can only get paid for 40. He "can not afford to pay me for" overtime, even if it's a week 50 hours .... is 40 on my salary.

It hurts, I'm tired, I'm cut and bruised .... but mostly I'm pissed off the ****.

I wanted ***** whack with a hammer and then to Hi.
