Grrr. And that's how I feel about work recently - somehow things had been really busy and it's hard to even catch a breather at work. I find myself reverting back to long hours (something I had been avoiding since the first 3 yrs w/ the company), logging on after work hours, and typing long-azz email threads throughout the weekend. From circumstances and events that happened (highlighted in my previous posts throughout the years), I always think that humans shouldn't have to work so much because there's much more to life than career or a job - yeah, this was a huge change from my aggressive mindset when I first entered the industry. Right now, I think that a career is only a job to pay the bills so that we can get what we want to live a healthy happy life. Eventually, after 50 years; I prefer to remember my accomplishment such as: "Hey, I learned this beautiful melody on my Taka (my guitar) during 2009 summer after watching this series - let me play this now", rather than something like "Hey, I was designing this X@Z circuit for this X&Z chip for this now-obsolete hardware". Oh well, godda enjoy 2 more hrs before I go to bed, and another day for project X@Z starts again.

I agree wat u say...satisfying the soul is more important than satisfying the ego!
If you're lucky...you might be able to turn what you love doing into a job. I'm not saying I agree with everything this guy says...but it makes you think: http://www.ted.com/talks/gary_vaynerchuk_do_what_you_love_no_excuses.html
Oh what an expressive cartoon... it says it all!!! If I were your teacher I would've given you 10/10, and this is very much like the life of a working class man is getting!
