What other things constitute a mid-life crisis besides divorcing your faithful wife of 20 years and running off with a 19 year old blonde in your new red Corvette?
I think the closest thing I got to a mid-life crisis was work-related. I got very depressed when I realized that I was going to work every day and spending a lot of mental energy writing software that played around with trivial points of accounting.
I thought... "is this my life? I work 40 hours a week so that Impressive Blue Megacorporation can claim that such-and-such expense happened today instead of tomorrow?"
