For those of you who have ER'd, I'm curious as how to you would grade yourself in embracing the ER lifestyle. Was it everything you dreamed it would be, or have you struggled at all with boredom or lack of purpose or direction?
I continue to find that I enjoy the challenges that come along with part time work, and I find myself a bit frustrated on the weekends because I don't get the couple of hours of mental stimulation that work provides for me, and I feel like I have too much time on my hands.
I also don't like the crowds that weekends provide, but that's not so much a function of embracing ER as much as the reality of living in Southern California. But while I can't wait until Mondays roll around for everyone to go back to work, I still find that I enjoy spending a couple of hours a day on work and would miss it if I fully retired. So I gave myself a "C" grade. I'd probably go for B-, but I wanted to keep the poll to only 5 options to keep it from getting unwieldy.
