Boy, does that sound familiar! This Chile Head holds a B. Sc. degree in
engineering and has 20+ years of experience as a programmer/system
administrator, but spent half of last year driving a semi. I'm now working a
job that pays well but sucks mucho grande.
My way of dealing with it? Every few days I travel to Taco Joes with a
bottle of my homebrew hab sauce and try to burn away my blues. Works better
than and has fewer unpleasant side effects than trying to drown them in
alcohol :-)
