One of the perils of mid-life crisis is the sense of job security. Recently, this hit me, and I was left pondering exactly how much market value is there in the things I'm currently doing? Taking today for an example, I was assigned to take over the tasks of another who was transferred to another department, and mind you, these are menial tasks. Like how Jennifer puts it, these are "thankless" jobs. I shudder to think what other crises I will encounter - someone actually told me mid-life is really a chore to wade through..... Shudder.......
