He he! That was quite the ray of sunshine :)

It's true though. Whether you work from home of in a cube, or don't have to work. I think everyone feels some kind of isolation.

I do not think that it is possible to have a job that is both inspiring and high-paying. Although, some people manage to convince themselves that they love their job 100% of the time.
