I am THE WORST at any kind of change.
Steph, my sister from another mister! And also another missus.
I am going through some of the same anxiety because I've been at the same company for 7 years, and I've never seen anyone with something like that on their CV in this industry so I feel like I must be Doing It Wrong. I haven't had a real inclination to look for another job, but it's looking like we might be bought out this year, so I'm afraid. On the upside, our stock is through the fucking roof, but I need to find some sort of financial planner person here to figure out how to most strategically turn it into the most money.
July has once again proven to not be a good month for the people I know in their 90s. A dear friend of the family passed away last night. It was not unexpected, but it's always sudden.

I feel like you and I should be able to turn our mad skillz into a viable business. Which would immediately get sidetracked by pop culture and anxiety.
I don't know if yoga may be a good routine for you but this may be something for you to do along with getting your meds evened out.
Ha! My boss told me maybe 10 minutes ago that I need to do yoga. I think I'm warping the fabric of space-time with my anxiety.
P-C, it's not uncommon in our industry. Some people bounce around, especially at the smaller companies where they have layoffs or get bought out or don't have upward potential. I was at my last few jobs 4 years, 3.5 years, and 4 years.
Right, PC, but don't stress about being in a good job for seven years! Sheesh. Sounds like you enjoy the work, get paid really well, and even have stocks for longer term investment. Bonus! If the company gets bought and things change, I have no doubt you will find another great job in the field. In the short term, though, you're in an enviable position.
Tep, I know it sounds corny, but have you ever tried meditation?

And anxiety about pop culture! Last night I was stressing out about all the books I need to read in the next couple months and trying to work out a reading schedule to get through them conveniently, working around Comic-Con and LoneStarCon.

Maybe I can take a month off and read and watch a shitload of stuff. Or, I don't know, write stuff.
No need to move,but update your resume,ESP if there are rumors of being bought out

I have, but not for a long time. I can't imagine slowing my brain down enough to meditate right now (and I realize that the *point* of meditation is to slow my brain down, so I have a whole chicken-and-egg thing going on).
