    just to throw more fuel on this .. I guess what I was clumsily trying to articulate before was the whole preoccupation on worth through career is a bit ass..

    I wear this a bit of a badge of honour, but the last actual job interview I went for from a job application I submitted was in 1999, everything since then I have either been head hunted or just fell into work from being in the right place at the right time.

    I guess my point is honestly my job is just a means to support all the parts of my life that isn't work.. all my side hustles, my hobbies and of course my family .. I have a quite a few friends who focussed hard on their craft and managed to make it as full time artists and musicians, but in the end almost end up hating the the identities they have crafted as it becomes harder to stay at the top once you reach it.

    but I have always been kind of happy just scheming and doing shit for my own amusement and if people pay attention, all the better.

    I guess my waffling point is this, stop caring. if your unhappy change something.

    the biggest issue I have is complacency and getting too comfortable .. like coming up next year I have been running our podcast for 10 years.. easily the longest personal project I have ever done.. and while it is a bit on autopilot, it also gives me much needed structure and motivation.

    not sure where I was going with all that.. except to say 35 is the sweet spot.. still young enough to start a family and not enjoy it, old enough to know what's bad for you ..
