I'm sure that there are people in this thread that are in a lot worse situation than me but ... I could use some damn friends. Especially local ones with the same interests/hobbies. Also, my job is super boring. I have an advanced degree, multiple certificates, years of experience, moonlight as a consultant, and I write basic SQL SELECT statements in solitary confinement every day. I've tried to convince my organization multiple times to use me to my full potential. I worry about my health when I retire. Sitting behind a desk for the majority of the day, every day, is not going to end well.
