No I'm not in prison, but sometimes I feel like it. I'm 62 years old and I've been at my job 27 years. I am one of our company's top managers. I appreciate my job but man do I have to put up with a lot of crap. Sometimes I don't know which is worst, the workers under me, or the owners over me. If I get real lucky, I get heat from both sides about the same thing at the same time. After 27 years I came close to just walking out today.
I started a small farm three years ago (peach orchard) on the side. And yes it is alot of work but I really enjoy the fruits of my labor. ( pun intended ) Next year I plan to retire from the rat race, and just do the farm. I can't wait. I really like being my own boss and working outside. Even the physical labor feels better then the mental stress I've endured for 27 years.
The farm has had some ups and downs but at the end of the day I sleep well.
