Great show today. Having recently become unemployed, I've been going through a little of the usual depression. A big part of that was tied to my identification with my career. Listening to the show, I realized that if you were to ask my best friends (the ones who really know me) to describe me, the term "software quality engineer" would not be uttered once. Those that know me Identify me for who I am, who I love, and what I love doing (not what pays my mortgage). What seems to be obvious for so many people has just now come to light for me. Thanks for the discussion.
