I have quit my job.

[Dusty Stevens]

I quit my job last year that was the culmination of all my work and one marriage, where i was known all over the world as one of the leading experts in my field, worked for the best company that does that work, got paid a metric ton of money, had any company car i wanted, traveled anywhere in the world expenses paid and was happy as i could be. Only issue was i worked a bunch of hours, on the phone 24/7, even when i was home i sat in my office staring at a wall of monitors talking to different people thru translators all nite. Told my wife id quit as soon as my kid started missing me. Got a new job, started out on the bottom, fraction of the money, nobody bugs me about what id do at 4am and the only time i turn my computer on at home is to pay my bills. I actually smile now.

I am a gun tinkerer and long-time military armorer (but not a gunsmith, by any stretch of the imagination), and I have a son who is an attorney. I have often wondered how many guns would be repaired if gunsmiths billed like attorneys - if he's speaking to you on the phone or typing or reading an email, he's billing you. My take is that there would be a lot fewer $75 shotguns and .22s being repaired!

Are you good with not working up to your agreed level of responsibility, but accepting the full compensation?

NY paid me too little for 20 years to risk my life daily. Now they pay me every month I keep breathing. My goal is to be 103 and shuffling to the mailbox to get my paper check...the last man on earth to demand they send one. Screw them!

Three more years at Boeing come this July and I am out of here. May start a small business to keep me busy but my time will be spent doing what I love doing most. Building things. I did prototype fabrication for another company some years ago. Loved the fact that I took concepts and turned them into a production ready product that was economical to produce. You build it once, then contract someone else to produce. I get bored with production work.

Reminds me of a summer job I had working at a rock crusher as a stick picker. Yes, a stick picker. You stood next to a conveyor belt and pulled sticks out of the rock that was headed up to the crusher. The gravel was used for concrete and you could not have any organics in the mix. What a boring job. Use to prayer for rain so that the belts would slip and I could do anything else. Thankfully, that was only a summer job.

If I ever have to work again, it will be as a piano player in a whore house. Good enough for Harry Truman and good enough for me.
