Well we went for a ride today too Greg.

Difference was we were on an ATV riding on frozen water. Eight degrees and in the wind was just too damn cold. We did about 15 minutes and said "Done!". Now we're safely back at the residence sipping hot mulled wine.

Well la-te-da. Never thought about taking care of Stan before now did they? Sounds as if your concerns are more about the welfare of the company rather than the pittance they give you although more "ance" and less "pitt" would be nice.

Stan, burn this into your mind before you let them say another word to you.
Just like wimminz.....there's a reason they're an 'ex'.

I do appreciate these responses. Human nature would allow for second guessing at some level.
I've been a loyal employee for four and a half years and it is hard to walk away. Two weeks, two months or two years ago these issues didn't seem to be of much concern to them.
