Here's a view from a higher level...I spent 25 years looking after network infrastrucutures...infrastructure uses up a lot of headspace. The work is never finished and the alerts never stop. If you are good in the space you are shown respect as others don't usually understand what you do. However you are looking after something which people just expect to work. What helped me was doing something totally different at the weekend. It's no accident I re-landscaped my back garden by hand and built two sheds. You will never get a light breeze blowing in your face, the sound of rustling leaves, in infrastructure. Doing something different made me happy. Don't wreck your brain either trying to understand everything. Become good at what you need to know. Technolgy is awesome but there are paradoxes. When I was in datacentres I used to think about the great damage I could do with a pair of children's scissors on fiber optic cables. This somehow brought all the awesomeness of the modern world down to a level I could undertand :-)
