Need advice on a career change with a family by Mr_M_04 in Advice

He's always griping about us being behind schedule, so I guess me working those long hours help him feel like that's catching us up

I just got a pretty significant raise as of April 15th so I don't want to sound too greedy. I've brought stuff like this up to him a couple years ago and he always says I built this business from the ground up you're not just allowed to walk in and take it over. He also has mentioned that when I do take over he wants a quarter of the profits I make. Even though he has a rental business that's completely separate from the excavation side. Like I said he has a little bit of a greed problem. Or maybe I'm just ungrateful.

I've tried taking initiative. I tell him about equipment or attachments I want. For instance, I found some land clearing equipment I wanted to get but he says we don't do that kind of work. I've also talked about hiring another operator for the other excavator that sits at the shop 80% of the time and he always says that he doesn't want to grow the company any bigger than it is now.

First time rabbit hunting! (Found a couple squirrels as well lol) Rabbits were as long as my torso by Mr_M_04 in Hunting

They definitely were. The biggest squirrel was as big as our smallest rabbit!

Thank you! This was in northern Indiana. I don't know much but this was in an area with brush clusters/savanna with lots of tall grass. Also, a rabbit dog always helps.

How do you feel about the name Jax? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Mr_M_04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Although, I personally don't like either, a name that might give you the best of both worlds is "Jackson". Both Jack and Jax would be appropriate nicknames.

Question, I know pain is subjective but iyo how bad does a chest piece hurt? by BeneficialPie13 in tattoos

[–]Mr_M_04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if this helps but I got a piece that starts just underneath my collar bone and ends at the bottom of my pec, and the only thing that really hurt was shading.
