Is that the reason for "grouchy"musicologist?
Haha, no. I'm only grouchy because people occasionally say ill-informed things about musicology. Other than that, I really like my job and my chosen field. I rarely think I'd be much happier if I had chosen to pursue some lucrative but non-musicological career.
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
(I plan to make these threads from now on. Downvote if you disapprove. If I miss one, feel free to do it yourself.)
