Just quit my job to free myself up to head back to America for the Pitt-WVU and Pitt-Tennessee games. Well, there are other reasons too, but "Quit for Pitt" does sound catchy. And honestly, I really do want to get back for these games more so than continuing to work for the man.
TBH, I'm just so tired of all of the restrictions and closed borders (that are finally opening up, but employer putting out threats if you travel and get stuck out of the country) that I just want to be a free agent. I'm an American. I want to be free to come and go as I please, and I want to go to Heinz Field and get crazy and watch my Panthers.
So I'm starting my own business with the main objective being that I work when I want, and that will not be on game day, nor between December-February when the dry fly fishing is on, and no weekends when I'm playing hockey.
Have an offer in on an old farmhouse in Southland not far from the Oreti, Aparima and Mataura Rivers, which are all world class trout rivers. Definitely going to realise my dream of having some sheep and naming one Danny Merino. Probably not set up well enough to have Kenny Piglet.
Our adult children have assessed our situation and they do not think it is an existential crisis nor a mid-life crisis. They pointed out that we already had our midlife crisis when we moved to NZ 12 years ago. My oldest son put it best, saying "Quitting your job to watch Pitt football is perfectly reasonable. If you were doing this to watch Pitt basketball, I'd be worried."
So @RoguePanther has me set up for tailgating and WVU tickets. Still want to have a Straub with @UptownPrivileges. Have @Zeldas Open Roof slap anyone who makes fun of the sunburn on my bald spot, eat amazing tailgate food with @recruitsreadtheseboards , have my stance and posture criticised by @goalieman and be hugged by @Nanty Glos Finest and @punxsypanther. Hoping the offer for steelhead fishing still stands @CougarClaws
I don't mean to wish your northern hemisphere summer away, but I hope my southern hemisphere winter goes quickly so I can get to the home opener sooner rather than later.
