I am either very lucky or am in a rut? :-D

In my mind,you are very lucky. :) are you still working or have retired? this is my signature for forums quoted from shog*9: I can't help but feel, somewhere deep within that withered, bitter, scheming person, there is a small child, frightened, looking a way out.

\--/ \---/ | \ | \ |You should count yourself lucky,if you enjoyed yourself at the job. I personally don't see myself spening more than ten years at anyjob. I can't find a job that i look forward to getting up and going to everyday. All the jobs i have had are the ones i wakeup, hoping i get hit by a truck on my way there. happy birthday:).

Retire? Not while I have so much to learn and my wife won't let me ;P

\--/ \---/ | \ | \ |Congratulations for having two great things with you: 1. Desire to learn and 2. An understanding wife I have only first one with me right now. No luck with second one ;) BTW, what was better, time before marriage or after that (as programmer)? Cheers, Junkie

I have the freedom to design my apps and write them in whatever language fits the task. They supply the hardware and software I need and pay for my books and even my phone line at home and my isp:-D Down side I am on call 24/7 but after so many years it becomes part of your life.

\--/ \---/ | \ | \ |Happy birthday man! In my opinion you are very lucky. Not because you are a programmer ;) but for having shared your life with someone you love. Personally, I would die 30 years in a job! Hell, 6 months and I am already getting bored ;) Pankaj Without struggle, there is no progress
