I feel the most engaged when the world is falling apart around me, but if I'm doing a good job those situations are few and far between, so there's a tension there where the better I'm performing, the less fun I'm having. Ho hum.
You're a fire fighter, Dude. Perhaps that is your real calling? (Hypothetically speaking, of course...consulting in your future?)
No, because my top priority in life is my family, and work is just something I do to enable what I do with my family. Consulting requires flipping those priorities.
They're also my main motivator for keeping things boring at work, because usually when the world starts falling apart, it starts at 1:00am on Saturday.
