As my (and our) first project goes live, I bask in feelings of fulfillment (not complacency though).

After years of what I believe is development, this is actually the first time I am producing a serious piece of work. It's also my first system development life cycle.

yes, ownership of a piece of work feels great. conquering issues feels even better.

I'm sensing continual growth again.

Where work life balance is concerned, I score badly.

Even while not physically in office, it's mentally unsettling to know there's a backlog.

I must learn to enjoy and not worry so much. Why is it so hard?

i like my job working on a trading application

good benefits, nice environment, talented technologists.

Much to learn and explore. :)
