Many moons ago

 I was looking for a construction job and I walked up to a job site and approached the boss man.

The first words out of his mouth were "What can you do for me?"

"I can make you money," I replied. That got his attention and he pointed at a laid out set of wall plates.

Two minutes later I was framing a wall. I didn't know what I was making but worked my tail off for the next several days.

When I got my first paycheck it was a lot more than I expected it would be. $17.50 an hour back in 1983 was nothing to sneeze at.

When I looked up at the boss he grinned. "You were right. You can make me money," he said. "I'm not greedy, though. I share."

A couple of months later it increased to $20/hour.

I wound up working for him off and on for several years. When he had work he called me.
