Dru’s New World

Okay I have been at this position for a whole 3 months now. The person I have taken over for is retiring in a couple months and is supposidly not the Point of contact for anything anymore. I love that, You need something you get used to dealing with me now.
Problem, Everyone still calls, emails and uses his name for everything.
I got an email today from the head of the IT Division Titled,
“Dru you need to do your Job!!!”

The great thing is I have been in this business long enough to know you need a paper trail. I forwarded him 28 emails within 4 minutes. All emails trying to get information with no responces.
About 2 hours later he sent a message to all employees in the IT Division titled,
“DAVE RETIRED, DRU IS THE GUY NOW!!!”

Inside his email he told everyone that they are making themselves look bad by not using my knowledge and experience. Within minutes people started getting the information to me.

It was a great day… Stress in the morning with a “Great Job, Thanks” email at the end of the day.

I busted my @$$ to get the income I get now. I spent 14 years away from my brothers and parents, I went to shool full time while working full time and raised a toddler by myself to get to where I am now.
Am I really going to get punished because my brother makes $100 for every $1000 I make?
He never tried college, He looks for jobs that are Flexible with hours because he doesn’t want to wake up in the morning. So he is the one that should get the tax break?
Everyone says Robin Hood was a hero… He was a Theif. Stealing is stealing it doesn’t matter who it is from. I am for abolishing the Income Tax altogether. Sales tax, Luxury Tax, Property Tax, that is all good. If I don’t want to pay Taxes I don’t buy anything. If I want to buy a 50 foot Boat then I should pay for it. 10% of my income goes into my retirement plan (Tax free until I take it out) This way I do not have to be a burden to the Tax payers. 10% goes to my Church and 10% gets split up between some Non Profits I like. I help where I can with what I can. But hurting me because I make what I do is Punishment for good work ethic and good life plan.

BTW, I just got back from living in Germany… I was paying over $6 per Gallon and 48% of my income was taxed by the German Government… This Gas price is fine with me
