Yeah I'm in a small company. I'm the entire IT department. It was a great way to get my mind back after burning out. I was counting physical stock at the end of each day for the first year. That downtime was a brilliant way to get some time to think. I felt productive every day, even if I was stuck on a technical problem.

Now I get to pick the technology I work with and drive a lot of change. I really feel like I'm making a difference and my efforts are worth it. Before I felt the harder I tried the worse I did. Everything was out of my control and replying to. Short email could take me a couple of hours. I couldn't think, in couldn't learn, I was broken.

Communication overhead kinda disappears when all the communication stays inside your own head :)
