This year I have been shocked at the number of suicides in this industry, I know of 3 and one was a very close personal friend of 10 years. I think the isolation of working on a computer 12 hours a day many of us lose touch with how our lives actually affect one another...and shows are built up to "live up" to some image we carry online but is it who we really are? How much personal satisfaction does one get in life from programming scripts or pushing porn in the long term? After 5 years do most of us still find meaning and satisfaction?... Makes me wonder and full of concern for the mental and physical health of all of us. Yeah working at home is great, but with 6 months between shows one can get lonely with ascii emotions and emoticons...
