You don’t have to work on passion projects like art or research to be content.

Just find something where you feel engaged.

Are you talking about these two sentences above?

This was my introduction to the 'wonders of tech.'

the tl, dr is the city wasted lots of money on a project the Mayor's daughter was pushing.

I was very lucky. The job I liked was in civil service. Relatively low amount of bull from management.

That's a great story.

Of curse, today the supervisor would be arrested and put on a terrorist watch list.
