That was very useful, especially in helping me think about how I actually feel.

I don't think I'm miserable in my work, but I do feel pretty powerless in my position - there's not much of a support structure. There's been this attempt to build one, but the organization is so large and the priority is so low that it's a long slow process where I'm waiting more than not and I'm not a big fan of waiting.

My wife started her own business last year, after years of me telling her she should, and it's going great. I've had an idea for a business for years and I've never made the move because it's scary. I think it's starting to set in that I could do the thing I've been thinking of for years if I can muster a little courage.
