Decide what you want to do with your life. Update your resume accordingly. Start the search for your new job. In the meanwhile, keep your head down, assuming you need to be employed. Your present employer is not worth a tinker's dam, or they would at least be improving your compensation. When you eventually submit your resignation, if they throw money at you, smile politely and leave.

good luck.

Why not? I am off-grid with two sets of solar panels (house and well). Did the whole thing mysef with a little help from my friends at Home Power. Not a problem unless you're totally clueless, which, being a Slashdot reader, you're obviously not. Got to homepower.com, buy the CDs.
