I've embraced stagnation since I love being a technical writer and really have no desire to do anything else for a living. I'm always learning new things, get to play with stuff, I've had the privilege of working with some absolutely amazing people (many of whom I've stayed friends with years after we left the company we both worked for) and have the luxury of being able to see tangible results of my work. I've found my niche.
