I had a job that was perfectly suited to my personality. Which was a God send, I am a very...different person, most jobs are circles and I'm a square peg, if you know what I mean. I had it for six years, good pay, good benefits. It was never lost on me how exceptionally lucky I was to have that job. It was THE perfect job for me. I got to work in solitude, I was not micromanaged. Then the company closed. Got another job, for crap pay, working with people that I found impossible to get along with. The operations manager was insufferable, it was all I could do to not assault him on an almost daily basis. So I left that job after several months. Shortly after I left, an avalanche of external stressors happened pretty rapidly in my little family(wife and I), which sent me into quite a depressive state. It's been 8 months since I left that other job. I went on some promising interviews at first, almost looked like I was going to get the job a couple of times. But they never panned out. I haven't even been trying now for the past three months. I just temporarily gave up. I don't currently have it in me to suit up and pretend like I'm everything that I'm not in an effort to get some lousy, entry-level job. It's all a game, one which I don't currently feel like playing. I'm getting closer to feeling ready to start looking again, though.

Ideally, I'd be self-employed.
