Wasn't there supposed to be a pay raise or something along with the move? Or did that pretty much get poured into the gas tank?

There was supposed to be a pay raise Aug 1.

It was postponed until 11/1, then 1/1. Never appeared.

Then I told him I'd have to have it to be willing to trying staying on and commuting to Boulder and that's when he started advertising for a replacement (and discovering he can't hire anyone qualified to do everything I do--which is far more than I was hired to do--for the money he pays me).
