    I fortunate in that for the most part I enjoy my work. I do have bad days though, from time to time. What I've found that makes work days less stressful is to cultivate things I enjoy doing after work. I stop at the local pub where I have good friends, enjoy good conversations and have
    a beer or two. I never order the same beer, so it's a little adventure. Some days after work, I'll hit the beach for an hour or so. Other
    times my wife and will take a trip to the dog park. A visit to home improvement stores, and a home project is a nice diversion. I leave
    work behind at the end of a shift, and enjoy the remaining hours of the day. It's the little diversions that get me through the week.

    Exactly. I didn't see myself being in this position at this point in my life and it's very frustrating and unsatisfying.

    I am stuck because of personal circumstances. Plan A was to sell up when my wife retired (3 years ago) and move away to a cheaper place to enable me to retire early. looks like I'm working until at least 60 now :(
