Let's see some of your points:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Being in control of my life - Well, I did get a much, much better job in New York, so I'd say I took control of my life very well.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Never outshine the master - This is very, very true. Too bad my ex-boss was never the master of anything.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Crying about my job - I don't consider this crying, just a way to vent some steam from a horrible week at the job. In any case, I got out of it and am in a much better place where I definitely won't be writing these types of post any time soon.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* "He will fire your easy to replace behind" - Sadly, he didn't get to fire me. It's been two months and they still haven't replaced me. And I still get contacted by ex-coworkers asking me if I can help them with some sort of problem, including asking me to do some more development work from here. Hmm... Seems like my easily-replaced behind isn't so bad after all.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;* Being broke - Strange, I now live in a city ten times more expensive than Puerto Rico, yet have more money in the bank now in two months than I ever had in Puerto Rico for the past couple of years.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So I guess you missed the entire point of this post, but that's okay. I think you just wanted to show off your anonymous superiority on some guy's blog. If so, I really, truly hope you felt better about yourself, because I'm feeling better than ever.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Dennis Martinez</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:35:30 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Puerto Rican Rails Dude &amp;raquo; Blog Archive   &amp;raquo; How can I compete against a stubborn boss?</title><link>http://www.dennmart.com/2007/07/15/how-can-i-compete-against-a-stubborn-boss/#comment-3640767</link><description>remember quit crying about your job, be a good follower shut up play your position and quit trying to outshine your boss because he will fire your easy to replace behind if starts to feel intimidated. then youll be broke.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">the boss</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:19:17 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: The Puerto Rican Rails Dude &amp;raquo; Blog Archive   &amp;raquo; How can I compete against a stubborn boss?</title><link>http://www.dennmart.com/2007/07/15/how-can-i-compete-against-a-stubborn-boss/#comment-3640766</link><description>bitch please !!!&lt;br&gt;you just want to be in your bosses position and instead of being a good follower first, you just want to hop to the top and run things. screw you and you stupid blog punk. i guess you feel like youre in charge of something in your life by starting and being in CONTROL of it. quit complaining, be a good employee and thank god that you have a job. never outshine the master.... ok. well ok then.....</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">the boss</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:16:03 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
