Nice analysis. This statement jumped out at me:
> This week I worked 15 hour days and was disappointed when I got too tired and had to sleep.
Examples of this are everywhere. First date with an exciting girl. New video game. Reunions with old friends. I challenge the author's conclusion that this is a sign that he's made the right career move -- more likely, it's a sign that he's gotten out of his rut.
That's not a bad thing, by the way. But remember, switching jobs is almost always exciting for us hackery types. More generally, a novel environment will usually produce excess excitement.
