There are definitely times when I think I am the wrong job.

I took this job at the urging of a family member who is VERY controlling. Family member decided I wasn't "really working" from home, even though I had clients and just needed to boost the number of clients and incoming projects to continue on that path.

When I interviewed and started the job, I was hypomanic. No doubt about it now, looking back. I didn't have the qualifications, but I thought I could conquer the technical duties of the job even though I had never touched on this stuff while earning my degree or while out in the workforce.

Feeling on top of the world was a big part of why I took the job.

Plus it pays TWICE what most jobs pay around here.

My last few days there before the leave started, I kept thinking, "I may have fooled these people for a year and a half, and took home that big paycheck, but that means there is someone out there who is perfect for this job and would do it well, but I am in their way. They deserve this job. Not me."
