lol.
Ok, well, as for "something deeper," you did allude to some deeper issues in your intro, I believe. I think you said something about chasing promotion and the corporate jet lifestyle, but then you suddenly recognized that you really didn't care that much about all that, and it kind of dropped away. Your wife was kind of stunned at the turnabout.
That sounded to me -- potentially anyway, I don't want to read too much into it -- like a pretty big shift in values and motivation. That can be a little disorienting, especially if you were chasing the "success" thing for decades. So maybe you're still processing that, trying to figure out what really matters to you now? Or maybe you're wondering about your career in retrospect (what does it matter, am I accomplishing anything, etc.).
I'm not sure what might be bubbling around in your head; I'm just guessing (maybe projecting a little, too). It just seemed like that shift from caring about "success" to not caring is a potentially big one, in terms of your worldview.
So then the question might be, Could you redesign your job in such a way that it made it fulfilling enough to want to stay? Fulfilling enough to delay or forgo retirement? Or are we talking about rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic?
