I'm very focused on not working and have a date for that to occur, but in the mean time I have to do what I do and at a high level due to the demanding scenarios. I really wish I had a more simple job, I look around from time to time, but until then...complex, difficult and stressful.
I think reward/thanks/gratitude can come in so many ways and, as I've said, it's not always monetary. I get the impression you're very well regarded and that pays dividends in chocolate it seems. Good one!
On the bright side of that you'll be able to retire comfortably, I think I'm pretty much doomed ^_^;
