I've been a lurker here for years. Yes, years. I remember watching two, or maybe three, presidential elections cause havoc. I've read about W2R and many others working, and then retiring. But perhaps the time has come for some interaction.
About me: Midlife. Divorced, but living with my ex. Work at a megacorp like many here. The atmosphere is frenetic, but mostly enjoy the actual work. The stress may kill me though. I've had several stress related ailments over the years and the hours probably didn't help my marriage. I've come close to using the automated "I quit" button, and someday I may, but for now I count backwards from 10, breathe deeply, and try to remember that the creative part of the job is not bad.
Glad to finally meet you all!
