I suppose I could wake up one day and realize that I've been missing out on something huge too. I just want to be a sculptor dammit! But I count myself extremely lucky in that my professional career gives me the time I need to pursue the hobbies that fulfill me. Music, podcasts and even Hubski. Without these things, I would likely feel similarly to her... without these things, I might go postal.

Google sure has done a good job positioning themselves as the place to aspire to be. I have several friends that count them as their dream employer. Is it the ping-pong tables, the great cafeteria, the in-house barber and dentist? Because it sure as shit isn't the don't be evil, is it? The gild is off the lilly so to speak.
