His experience at the monastery had freed him from
the escapist thoughts of fantasy jobs that had once
dominated his mind.
He was free form the constant, draining comparisons
he used to make between his current work and some
magical future occupation waiting to be discovered.
This new focus, and output it produced, was
appreciated by management.
