I did service work for other companies a long time ago.  I've either had to
totally redo total shit work, or I had to bend over while simultaneously
kissing ass.  I've got two other totally unrelated business concerns going
that I enjoy doing.  I want to do those and get out of contracting.

In a year or two I'll be able to dump contracting whether I find a buyer or
not.  I almost could now, but I hate to treat the customers who have
supported me for so many years like that.
