I've written elsewhere on this. I actually did drastically reduce my work hours and begin exploring other careers, plus starting my own business. However, it didn't seem like it was my place to tell people what they should do, and decided to stick to commenting on what might be a waste of time instead. Everyone's on their own journey, etc, etc.

I've been much happier, but for hopefully understandable reasons, do not wish to bore my long-term readers by repeating myself re: all that history. After all, most of my posts are read fifty times tops by the same people.
