Milcom MiasmaToday doesn't suck.
After two years of retirement, I'm finally starting to see signs that I'm recovering from the burnout I suffered during my last five years of working.
Crazy what we're willing to trade for a paycheck, eh?

I'm still astonished by what I endured for the sake of a paycheque. To be fair, I was also doing it because terribly vulnerable people relied on me to do what I did. I'm still extremely relieved that I left that field of work when I still had some wellbeing left. And, I've been doing #PrecariousWork ever since but it's work that I love and which boosts me up.

Strange how we take work stress for granted. I was sacked in 2006, aged 54. Not ideal but I put together some part time work with freelance techie writing and found I was happier and more relaxed than ever.

Seems like the entire equation is set up to induce nothing but stress (almost as stressful to keep a job as it is to lose one.)
It's good that you managed a way to survive outside of it.
