Since the earliest days of my career, I've been fascinated by the reasons why people are upset with their jobs or are miserable at work. I've often been saddened that people spend so many hours and such a high percentage of their lives in a workplace they don€'t like.

I've been fortunate to have jobs that have been engaging and interesting`. I've generally liked my work, even if there have been frustrating times of my own.
