Unemployed.

My last day working for the asshat boss is this Friday. I have 7 days of dozer work booked for January and I'm never looking back.

Congrats.

You've hated working for that DB for years.

The reduction in stress is amazing.

I did it 18 years ago and it saved my health..........helped the finances too.
