[QUOTE=Hello Again] That sucks. A few years ago I was planning on quitting my job, but when I had my first-and-only panic attack because I had to go into work one monday morning, I decided to expedite the process. [/QUOTE] Wow. that’s totally a sign that it’s time to get off that ride like rats off a sinking ship. In my experience, the time to leave is when you realize that you’re start getting pissed off the _night before_ you’ve got to go to work in the morning, so you go to bed angry. ---

[QUOTE=Count Blucher] I’ve started to make a list of things I’ve always wanted to do & day trips I’ve wanted to go on that my wife & kids wouldn’t enjoy. If I can manage my time right, get my job search things done and get the household things done early enough, I go out and experience them. [/QUOTE] Just as an update: after posting, I remembered an old cement railway bridge connecting NJ & PA very close to the Delaware Water Gap (spanning the Delaware) that I’d always wanted to hike across. Realizing that I had my chores for the day done, and that there’s no time like the present, I packed a backpack & some hiking boots and drove there. I had to park at a truck stop 1/4 mile away, but darned if I didn’t hike up to the old tressel & scoot on across! I saw a few people tubing below as I walked to PA and back. And now I can check that off my list. ---

[QUOTE=OtakuLoki] Have you considered needlepoint? My mother loves it, and when I tried it, I didn’t mind it too much. (My mother just found my old needlepoint project, which is about 90% done, and has started pushing me to get it finished. Maybe I can send it to you, and you can finish it for me? 😉 ) [/QUOTE] I’ve got a knitting for dummies guide and will give it a try. Also, I have a small collection of scrapbooking supplies. After our wedding and trip to London and Scotland, I wanted to organize the pictures and momentos. I don’t have an artistic bone in my body, so this has been put off for awhile now. However, I spent today [downloading pictures](http://s75.photobucket.com/albums/i292/mouse_maven/UK%20Trip%20October%202006/?action=view¤t=CraigmillerCastleGreatHallKim.jpg) from our trips and will order some prints. (Mouse\_Spouse is an amateur photographer, so we have a _lot_ of pictures.) ---
