After a long life of getting bent over by pretty much everyone i've worked for i can finally say im done. As a child i worked doing hay from 10-15 years old at a horse farm owned by one of the richest families in town. At 12 years old 3 friends and I broke a record and did 2650 bales in a day , the original record was set at 2000 by 8 adults. I made 56 dollars that day and almost died of heatstroke from working so hard no bonus, nothing. Fastforward a few years I get a job laying conduit for verizon, national grid, eversource, and westernmass electric. Decent paying job at the time, but some of job sites were 3-4 hours away and the boss did one way pay so i would lose out on alot of money. I quit that job and started doing contractor work everything was going good but i was working under the table and never pulled permits, got paid off the books and because of this ive lost out on thousands for jobs. This is based on shitty people not wanting to pay for work. I became an alcoholic and got bad with it so my friend let me move into his house to become sober and start doing the right thing. He was a business owner who offered to employ me for me staying there so i could have some cash to spend.The job was sales at a kiosk and he Took complete advantage of me in a bad situation. He knew i was good with my hands so he asked me for help. i fixed his rental properties and saved him 14,000 dollars in repairs and installations over the course of 2 months and he wouldnt even give me a ride to see one of my bestfriends on his b day. So ive finally decided to move into the woods and start farming, cutting cord wood to pay the taxes on the land and getting in touch with nature. It will be good to finally have peace.
