That's pretty much how I feel. I've been extremely lucky in that, for the last ~15 years, work often hasn't felt like work as a result. I also think I was (am?) _average at best_ but continually saw improvement, found new tricks, etc. and was kept engaged.

If I wind up stocking shelves at Tractor Supply, like I keep threatening to (because I have no interest in feeding bots with markdown), I'm sure I'll be in for a rude awakening.
