I have felt that every job has its irritations, but one should choose the kind of irritations with which one is most compatible. When there's a miserable frustrating bug that comes and goes, it's not something I'm happy about (I, too, would prefer to get quickly to a working result), but it's something I'm used to dealing with and I'm willing and able to tackle. It doesn't keep me up at night. It doesn't make my stomach hurt. On the other hand, a friend of mine is an excellent manager. Dealing with the kind of work inter-personal conflict that would cause me pain and sleepless nights is just a part of his job. He knows how to deal with it. He doesn't want it to happen, but fixing it is what he's good at. And I've heard that even the best sales people are constantly dealing with rejection and failure to close a sale. It's just part of the job - if they've got a good enough batting average then they just don't beat themselves up about the one that got away.
