Great story, I'm sure you'll find something that is satisfying.

I was fired from a stressful high salary job a few weeks ago. I could handle the stress when I drank, but evidently not so well sober. I more or less started isolating myself from tasks and people that were unpleasant... I guess they noticed. I felt more like the guy from Office Space than the super aggressive go getter I used to be. I concluded that without getting smashed every weekend I just can't be that guy. Still not exactly sure what I'm going to do, but it does not include a micro manager boss or the kind of pressure I was under before. Like you, I have re-examined the value of income vs happiness. I'm going to do something purposeful that I am happy to do most days. I can afford to make less, I can't afford what the stress will do to me.
