Ooh, I have questions! Ignore any that don't matter. Or, I mean ignore them all if you want to! Just trying to get a feel... I don't actually have anything in mind.

Would working from home be good or bad for you?

Would an office job suit you -- I mean, I know the being in by a certain time has been a challenge at times, but... if that weren't a huge part of the culture?

Would you want to do hybrid WFH and office?

Are you staying put in NO?

Would you be willing to/like to travel, or would that be stressy?

Do you like/want to interact with clients and such, or would you rather keep it internal to your "team" or the like?

Do you want to, like, operate on you own, or would you rather just get "assignments" and handle that shit?

Is rote work unimaginable? (I find it soothing, for example.)

Would you want to manage others?

Any field you've thought of that you haven't done but might like/rock out?

If you think of what you've done that hasn't been as physically taxing, what have you enjoyed-to-not-hated?

I mean, I am curious about this kind of shit in general! People are so different in what they love/hate. It's fascinating.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's a tough call, smonster. In my opinion, once you've had the "maybe I should do something else" thought, giving it serious consideration is a good idea. Especially if it's a matter of what your body can handle physically. Pushing yourself just to prove you can (especially if you can't really except by hurting yourself) or whatever wouldn't be good for anyone. But thinking about it seriously isn't definitely doing it, either, so allow yourself to consider possibilities.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Atropa, much Dad~ma. I hope they figure out the right treatment quickly.

Those are fantastic questions, JenP. I marked your post because it's definitely something I need to discuss with myself.

Health~ma for your dad, Atropa.

Smonster, would some sort of building inspector job suit you? I seem to recall you don’t like spending all day at a desk, and this would get you out and about. While there are probably core hours you’d be expected to work, it seems like something that might have some flexibility. No idea how one gets into the field, but it might be worth researching.
