I Quit!Scaryduck writes, "I celebrated my last day on my paper round by giving everybody next door's paper, and the house at the end 16 copies of the Maidenhead Advertiser. And I kept the delivery bag. That certainly showed 'em."
What have you flounced out of? Did it have the impact you intended? What made you quit in the first place?

@la fossilHo yus, organists can earn. But only at the cost of selling our souls.
The most lucrative post is playing in a crematorium... a more spine-crushingly banal musical fate I can barely imagine, apart from possibly 2nd desk in the 2nd violins for Boyzone's string section. The other earners are weddings - but there are 300 great hymns in the book and everyone still wants Morning Has Broken or Give Me Joy In My Heart or some crap by Graham Kendrick. Plus it means you never get to go away on a summer weekend because there's a wedding every Saturday.
I love being an organist........ but mainly for the bits I don't get paid for, e.g. cranking it up to 11 and bashing out some ear-bending Tournemire to frighten the old ladies.
Yours with a 32-foot contra-bombarde (oh, sorry, bindun)
