Or we could call you lucky for getting paid to work on stuff that's cutting edge instead of boring CRUD apps.

Seriously, I'm curious where you work.

Yeah, I'm definitely lucky but man, sometimes it's stressful. Especially recently, I've had some really difficult problems to get through.

I kind of work for myself though it's more accurate to say that I work for a lot of people in various highly technical and often mathematically intensive industries...
