Live like an apeman.....
So, it turns out that I like being a paper pusher. I like not having a lot of job stress. I like being busy during the day and accomplishing things but then not having to work around tightly wound people or having to make uncomfortable decisions.
In short, I love my new job. It's so much less responsibility than jobs I've had previously, and I love it. Part of me feels guilty. I *should* want more. I should want a position with a chance to climb up the ladder, with recognition and good pay, and resume-stoking capabilities. But, it turns out that I don't. I actually just want to put in my 8 hours in a reasonably comfortable setting, get a free Ivy League degree, or 2, and sleep well at night.
Seriously, I haven't been this relaxed and calm in years. The shit you learn about yourself.....
