Once you are at the point of financial independence, life expands to all these choices.
a job you can walk away from, a job where you can tell anyone who is making you uncomfortable to F-off, including "the boss", is not really a "job", but is more a past-time, so it is FIRE "in spirit".

Ah, that explains what I was doing that last 10 years of 'work.' 
My former mini-corp was bought by a MegaCorp, and there were several times following the merger that I was driven to tell persons to... um... do that thing. Things got better once mini-corps management took over MegaCorp (which led to "Who bought whom?" questions everywhere), but yeah, it was more of an interesting hobby than a job, I suppose.
I did leave in early 2008 to full FIREdom, mostly because the tasks I had left weren't particularly interesting. Hobbies aren't supposed to be boring, right?
