Told my boss to....

**Robin** · 3rd February 06, 04:42 AM

No...had nothing to do with me wearing a kilt, although...perhaps the power of the kilt did help me to do this.

I'm working at the same restaurant for 14 years now, not happy with the way they treat me for several years.

I told them I will stay until July, so they have time to find someone else (that won't be easy)...gives me time to think of something else also.

I might start a small kiltpin business :mrgreen:

My wife Michelle earns enough (understatement), we've no kids, no debts, so there's no financial need to stay. Michelle likes to see a happy hubby and she supports my decision.

:-D

I've always threatened my boss that one day I'm just gotta chunk it all in and become a bartender...at least I could wear my kilts to work all the time...

Way to go. If you need any advice on starting your own business, just let me know. I've never been happier about work than since I started working for myself.

Glad to hear this Robin! Good luck on your business, and be grateful that you have a great and understanding wife.

only prob i see with working for yourself is that when you disagree with the boss calling him a a$$hole is rather self defeating...

:-D

I am sure you will maike out fine Robin. You are a very fortunate man to have a supportive partner who has your back (as we say over this way)

Best of luck Robin, it's a big step but I'm sure you'll be happier in the long run. I've thought about kiltmaking, but decided I don't want to get buried under a years worth of orders and put up with the pressure. Guess I'm just not that ambitious.

I've worked for myself, and the boss made me work all those hours, get into partnership with others like him, do everything he didn't want to do and all th while he was stashing the cash for his old age. Finally had to quit and lived off his loot for awhile.

Now im working forthe man and the best part is a sense of irresponsibility when teasing my boss (his doc should give me a kickback for the high blood pressure meds)
