Mitch:
That's the most I've ever seen you post. You are so eloquent and helpful - you just hit everything right on the nose.
I worked in Electronic Publishing for about 9 years (plus some print). I didn't mind the cubicle in my NYC office so much, b/c I had a beautiful view and when I went out for lunch I was in the city I love.
But, the concept always wore me down. I would hide in the closet on Sundays and just hope to fall asleep soon so I could avoid the stress.
When I worked for an ad firm, I cried walking up the stairs in the morning.
Think that would have been a sign, wouldn't you? Well, I was filled with the concepts of "responsibilty" and "loyalty" - not that those are bad, but taken out of context, they can be deadly.
Now I'm trying (eventually) to buy a small farm in mid-state NY. I thought the isolation of Woodstock would kill me - I have come to love it. I have so much more control over who I see, what I do.
Tell us about your farm life if you ever feel inclined - I would be fascinated.
Hope you're doing well.
