I had a summer job in college working in a plant that built roof trusses for commercial buildings. The boss was always after me to speed up production, to help him motivate the other workers and to "kick them fuckin' trusses out." After weeks of 10-12 hour days and working Saturdays I asked for a long weekend off to go river rafting. He said no. I was so mad, the next day I "accidently" started building the world's longest roof truss. I just kept splicing 12 foot 2x4s together with gang nails until I had a 90 foot-long truss that looked like modern art snaking off the rollers, across the plant floor and out into the warehouse. My boss came running and screaming when he saw it, face beet-red. I got my long weekend and then some. It was almost time to go back to school anyway and it was worth it to see the look on his face.
