I was talking about how I left my corporate job back in November of 1999 and how enthusiastic I am for doing it.
I was toiling as a mechanical engineer building medical device for a immense business and I was weary of toiling in such an environment.
You had a keycard to get into the locked building with no windows and it bordered the feeling of a prison when I was inside. You couldn’t see out at all and when you finally left for the afternoon it wasn’t afternoontime anymore. I’d get dwelling at 7pm to my air conditioned lonely dwelling and would crash next to my a/c from exhaustion after a long afternoon in the office. I did that for seven years and finally told myself no more and left it behind me forever. The HVAC corp was paying me like $60K a year back then, which is pretty superb money in today’s world, but all of the heating and cooling system work in the world didn’t interest me anymore and I had to get out of it. That was almost 24 years ago and I am so enthusiastic I got out of it when I still could because a lot of my friends are still stuck in their office jobs. The only thing I liked was designing HVAC duct for the big commercial HVAC device that my friend and I built, but most of the time I was in meetings or writing reports for the immense boss. My life is a lot different now being a tunesian and a part time writer overseas, wow.
