I am sitting here unemployed, drinking a Mountain Man Barleywine and loving every minute of it. I figured since today was my last day working for Boeing and my first day working towards my dream, I should post something. I am not sure what I am trying to accomplish in this post, but the most important piece of information is at the end (and it is mostly for me, but is good advice for anyone).
Leaving work today was the greatest feeling in the world, I was smiling ear to ear almost all the way home and probably have a similar grin on my face right now. The whole thing hasn't really set in yet, but I am sure at some point on that plane ride this weekend it will. So walking to my car today (the 15 minute walk from the factory that I wont soon miss) there were a few things that I couldn't stop thinking. I was thinking: "no regrets" (that and everybody Wang Chung tonight). Don't think that will be a problem. I can probably count on one hand the number of times in the past 2.5 years that I woke up and though "I am so excited to go to work at Boeing today." When I found myself getting out of the car every morning telling myself, "another day another dollar" I knew it was time to try something else.
I am starting to get a buzz and feel like I am rambling/preaching/not making much sense. So I am going to get to my point (which I stole from one of the greatest movies of our time, Jerry Maguire):
"That's how you become great, man. Hang your balls out there!"

Jerry Maguire and Out Cold quotes in the same blog post? This is just one of the reasons why I'm sure this is the right thing for you to be doing.
