Except in my case I hate what I do, but the money's never been better.
I hate IT with a passion. The company I'm at has ungodly layers of bs to wade through to get anything done, but seems to think it's an "agile shop" that can implement stuff at the turn of a dime.
Kinda like the Titanic and that iceberg ... the swerve ain't gonna happen. So I sit here dealing with all these jackasses who needlessly complicate things but don't know how to make their directives happen because the people with legacy and process knowledge were fired 2 years ago.

I just want to run away. Been thinking about going to bartending school so I can work weekends and stash cash then when my 6 more-months at this gig is up, just leaving Indy. I'd love to go to a small town up in the Northeast - near the woods, or the coast - & work at a hotel/run a B & B (don't have the capital to buy one, though) ... just get away from the techie-corporate bs and find my soul again but I feel like I'm too tired, too.

You know, I feel like I got to a point and realized that I just don't like my life, but, knowing who I am, also came to the sad realization that it's most likely not going to change. Depressing.

I hope - and I know - things will get better for you.
