I too understand "suck mode". When I was working, a lot of focus was about my job and preparing for the work week. Now I have the time to concentrate on new ideas and projects at a faster pace, some of which get me out of my comfort zone, which I really enjoy. The stress I feel now is because I make it, not my former job.

<It's like a prolonged weekend> I tell my friends it feels like I'm getting away with something!
