I looked at him and blurted out, "I quit!" We laughed and continued to paint. Quitting work at this point with families would be quitting life and the coward I am won the day over any heroic thought like jumping off the scaffold. And today? ...still painting. It's basically reading email and typing documentation and migrating code and fixing program bugs while sitting in a cube, but a brush is a brush is a brush if you know what I mean.
