And they're right. I was making next to nothing before and now I'm making 50% more than next to nothing...which is something. So the company saves money...I move up in the world, and everybody wins.

I was able to leverage it a little when I informed them that all those intranet things I wrote for them were php/mysql and they don't have any php guys here. So I get to keep those under my umbrella as well.
Now that, sir, is genius. When given free reign over a project, develop it in a way that ONLY you can support it.

This, my friend, is JOB SECURITY.

Genius.
