[Rick Lee]

I've had a similar previous 15 years as Dave L. But I never looked at my career as my life. I look at it as a way to afford my lifestyle. It's afforded me the time and money to do some amazing travel, buy lots of fun toys, meet some great people and occasionally, a little personal growth.

I've been with the same company or boss now for eight years. I hate it. But it's allowed me to do so much of what I've always wanted to do. I got to move to AZ and keep the same job, while now working from home. My biggest career goal in life is to be left the hell alone and, well, I'm pretty much there. That I'm making decent money now is just icing on the cake.

I've resigned myself to working for the man until I find a better opportunity. It's ain't that bad though when you work from home, see your wife every morning and night, have great weather every day and can arrange business trips to wherever whenever I can dig up the business. I've been in a lot worse situations.
