You misunderstand. My current job, daily stresses notwithstanding, is wonderful! My current boss is as much a 180 from those guys I mentioned as you can get.

It's just...I still hear those other voices in my head from time to time. Voices telling me that the other shoe will drop, even though there's no reason that will happen. It's like I was conditioned not just to expect the worst, but "know" the worst for me was coming and inevitable.

I try not to be so fatalistic, but some days it still comes.
