this email would be my script that I would hand and read to your boss.  It
looks like a job description.  If you fill these, then hand it to him and
say "I do this, we need to adjust my pay to compensate me for this work"

Looks good to me

Hello,

I'm in Oklahoma City, so it's a bit harder sometimes for me to gauge
how much compensation I should receive.  If anyone has any comments on
the following information, please let me know.  I won't disclose my
exact salary, but you can email me offlist if you're curious.

My title is Application Developer, but I am the only person here (and
always have been) that knows the difference between a boolean and a
string.  I am the only technical person and I often take on
experienced IT-related roles such as web server configuration, shell
scripting, server monitoring/management, etc (mostly Unix-based, some
Windows 2000).

I architect and build all backend solutions (PHP, mySQL, CF, RoR,
J2EE) and desktop solutions (Cocoa, Java, Flash/mProjector).  I have
extensive knowledge of media streaming and FCS/FMS application
development.

I also architect all web-based applications and provide diagrams and
documentation for them, after meeting with clients or upper management
directly to translate business objectives into software tools.

I then sit down and do ALL of the development work.  I work with one
designer but I do all UI/interactivity design.

I also manage a small team of interactive designers and producers.

My title does not reflect these duties, but it is difficult to
communicate to my boss what I do.  I am getting roughly what a junior
Actionscript developer would make, and I'm fed up.  There are also no
stock options, no profit sharing, no retirement (401K), no vision nor
dental.  We get a very simple medical insurance plan.

I am looking for advice on this matter.  Do I expect too much if I
demand at least $90K a year?  How do I better inform management as to
what I actually do on a daily basis?  If I'm right in thinking that
I'm getting screwed, is anyone hiring?  ;)

Cheers!
