20 years as an industrial HVAC/refrigeration/multi-craft mechanic.
7 years as a pipe organ builder.
7 years as a HVAC estimator.
The last year I worked for Sundown Audio building 100 lb subwoofer drivers.
Then in 2013 I got attacked by fire ants and within 6 months could not work anymore. I've been severely disabled ever since. The only good thing about being disabled is not being a debt slave anymore, working for people who are not competent in their jobs and are basically corporate stooges. Yes, I did not like work
as I missed my kids growing up, working thousands of hours of overtime,( One year working 66 days in a row and having only 13 days off the entire year), chasing money that I have nothing to show for now. Consumed with regret over poor choices in life.
