You are right the sound never gets annoying. But... In the early 90s I was a crew chief on the F15. I worked nights (what we called swing shift) and so slept during the day. Depending on which runway they were using the landing pattern w

Holy Shit! This is me exactly except for the decades in start ups, I've never worked in start ups. Also, I'm not stuttering but I do stop in the middle of a sentence and can't finish it. That has been happening for quite a

First let me say congratulations on the side project that makes $$. You are doing something that some people, me :-( , can't seem to figure out (or have too much paralysis by analysis, me again) So my question is genuine and not meant

Yes, I have. I've talked about it here [0] and here [1] . The difference being that it was a complete career change. Pay went down about $12K which was considerable for a family of 4. In the end it was worth it and I'd do it a
