              Have you ever seen Stephen Fry and Delia Smith together? I think it is rather suspicious.

                  Slacker, I was in a job I hated for the last four years. Due to family circumstances it wasn't possible for me to move so I sat it out. Every now and then I'd get wound up and need to let of steam, but I managed to not fatally wound anyone. ;) As soon as circumstances allowed my CV was out there and I now have a decent job with a good company. Hang in there until you can justify to yourself and your family that the time is right. Until then remember :java: by day and :beer: by night.

                    It's posts like this that truly make me believe in the concept of 'soul bros' :laugh: I feel your pain, man. If there is a discount on those devices count me in. Polish up the resume and just have it ready. Don't go looking, but if something comes up, be ready.

                    If it's as bad as he says, he probably should go looking. Sounds like a change of scene in the near future is necessary.

                            Let's put it this way. If I didn't have a wife and kids to support I would have ditched this shit hole a long time ago. I don't have the time "right now" to pursue other ventures. I literally have to remind myself not to tell someone to stick it where the sun doesn't shine and to just shut up and do my job. A person can only take so much.

I love the outdoors and wilderness and little creatures that go bump in the night.

                                        I can totally understand that. I saw a position to be a forest ranger in the Chicago area years back. They provided the house on the edge of the forest, and it was in Naperville, Illinois, the middle of suburbia USA. However, there is a lot of Forest Preserve in the area. It was a sweet opportunity for whoever got it.
