Today I Quit
Today's the day I tell my boss I'm wrapping it up. Oh...I'm giving a few months notice. Nothing like John Galt - standing up and walking out. But, I've been overworked too long and will be the youngest in my organization to pull the plug, ever. Been running the numbers over and over and the 300 pound gorilla in the room is my willingness to go do something else for a living. I'm an engineer and have worked extremely hard for 31 years to be excellent at what I do. My reward working for others?...More work. So, I quit. It's been an amazing ride. I've fought battles that would blow your minds in terms of the ethics involved. I've also done some amazing work in the area of aerospace. My main gig for the past several years has been in healthcare and I've been deep in the government/healthcare complex. What I see there isn't promising for the general public. All I can say is "be an informed consumer" as opposed to being an idiot who worships anybody in a long, white coat. When COVID started to overwhelm our medical facilities I was the guy in the center of the effort to help facilities keep functioning. I'm glad I was there when I was needed for that. Time to spend more time with my kids, play more golf, and occasionally take in a higher hourly rate...

I'm at 32 years with two of my businesses running consecutively from 2008 through 2019. I still have my shingle up after a 300 mile move. I'm actually considering employment for another, as the munitions factory is really ramping up in my town....;)
A very good article on towing a travel travel or a motorhome
Are you getting out of Commifornia, too?
