  • I refuse to wear a mask. I quit caring about this so long ago. If I get it and I die, so be it. I just don't care anymore. I am going to live my life my way and whatever happens, happens. I lost so much four weeks ago, I just can't care about this anymore.
  • Here in a week or so I will have the financial freedom to do it. Like I said before, I have been living to work. Because of that I missed a lot of time with my wife and it kills me knowing that. I am done with it, I won't do it anymore. Soon the only bill I will have is my mortgage and when that happens, either drop me to 40 or I am looking for another job. Ideally I'd like to work 4-10's. My current job will not want me to go to 40 let alone 4-10's. I am currently at 59 hours a week, 4-11's, a 9, and 6 on Saturday. Maybe they would drop me to 4-11's, I could handle that. All that being said, in the last 6 months I have turned down 4 job offers paying more per hour but couldn't get me the hours I am working now so I would actually be taking home less per week. The other reason I turned them down is because they weren't aerospace/defense shops. I am passionate about aerospace and want to stay in this industry. Aerospace still pulls at me but not as much anymore. My life outside of work is at the top of my priority list and if I have to leave aerospace to get the pay and schedule that fit the best, then so be it. This whole ordeal seems to have turned every facet of my life upside down. I wish I would have had these priorities right when she was alive but they are right now. Unfortunately the cost of figuring it out was way too steep.
