All of this is very much IMO: Work sucks. The happiest at work I've ever been is working with people I like, almost (but not quite) regardless of the work. Sometimes I get to do interesting and fun projects, but it's a lot of annoying meetings and stupid bugs and projects I don't give a shit about. I'm grateful for my gig, don't get me wrong, but I have to remind myself that I'm not living for this. In a perfect world I'd be living in a small community of family and friends and working in ways that directly support and aid them.
