Not currently.

However, I've had jobs that were really great and were very fulfilling for stretches of a few years at a time. Mostly because they were a stretch / challenging for me at the time, and allowed me to move to new cities and better my lifestyle, meet new people, etc - so it's not completely stupid to expect fulfillment from a job.

The problem is that whether a job is fulfilling or not isn't under your control, it only takes one bad reorg or boss or layoff to mess it up for the next few years.

This is interesting, do you ever think back on those years and have a desire to actively seek out such environments again? Or have you simply found peace with your current situation and are happy to give your attention to other things in life?
