My job almost killed me

[Martini]

Here is the short version --

I was a manager at Circuit City and the stress of micro-managing all those around me and having to deal the corporate bull caused a mental and physical breakdown which ended me up in the hospital -- twice -- for anxiety and depression.

Fortunately, my tenure with the company allows me 18 paid weeks off. I've already completed 6 grueling weeks -- learning to manage and cope with stress -- and now I'm ready to liberate myself and actually focus again on creating a passive income stream.

If there is anyone out there who feels like they are suddenly being choked when they walk into their place of employment -- get out while you still can!

I'm hanging on, working on my muse and some other jobs, can't wait for a trip to Mexico, I need a break, somewhere where I can sit on the beach for 17 days, do nothing except read and drink Coronas in the sun. It will happen, just not today:(

See this is the kind of thing I don't want to go through upon finishing at McGill. I feel like I certainly know enough to make my passive incomes streams work, but I'm not quite there yet.

When I graduate in the spring it will be a "crisis of meaning" where I'm going to have to make sure things work out..or else I might find myself working part/full-time in an office, which I have found is to be avoided.

I actually feel like I'm on a bit of a rat race to make this work before I graduate so I can avoid going to work entirely.

Dantplayer.. Don't beat yourself up if it doesn't work out. At least you are thinking the right way. Carry that mentality with you into the workplace and all of a sudden nothing seems so bad.
