When asked wha'd you (I) do this weekend, the answer 95% of the time; worked on the building, did metal or wood work, some mechanics, and so on. When asked on a weekday about day before, the answer really doesn't change.
I am fortunate (STUBBORN) enough to pursue only jobs in the mechanical-industrial realm; by way of manual machining. Infinite satisfaction, but not instant, the reward is in completion.
Said for decades now "...if I could afford it, I'd do it for free". That not being the case, I remain in their employ until it plateaus, or is no longer monetarily gratifying. I do not give two weeks notice. Two weeks? I'm not worth a couple extra bucks, but you want 2 weeks for me to train an imposter, wanna-be or intern? When I walked in, who was my personal mentor? I make sure they know my mentors are long-gone retired, and hit the floor running.
If not challenged, I'm gone. If labeled as 'overhead', I disappear. With multiple toolboxes built for different shop environments I am freakin' mobile.
They call workers like this a "Marco Polo". Great; where'd we be without exploration? There is "get to", "got to", and "have to". Get to is usually exciting. Got to is a resume. Have to is just crap
Ever run a big P&W or Fosdick Jig Bore? 12' Niles Horizontal Lathe? 30' Gray Planer 60" Bullard? 48" Monarch? 12' Mattison? Blanchard? DeVlieg? Cincinnati Hydrotel?

Johnny Cash covered a Guy Clark tune exceptionally well.
