Often, I had to resist the urge to lose it like said crazy person in an office, which was my second home for over 10 years. But the voices in my head told me to wait until the time is right.....
Now I am self employed, and no longer work in a small office. I now have to concentrate less about losing the cool, but that's only due to to the recession, US housing market, subprime lending....blah, blah blah. Otherwise, getting out of an office was the best thing I ever did. I highly suggest it but if you have any job in today's market, hold on to it as best you can.
