I am SO there :)

Funny this came up after I spent most of my weekend daydreaming about leaving the keyboard and becoming a sushi chef. I've been in one facet of IT or another now for about 20 years and there are those days that we all have. It's really just my complete distaste for the whole job hunting process that keeps me where I'm at some days. It used to bother me to know that I would take a big hit financially to leave this field with no experience with anything else that pays well, so I started preparing myself financially... spending less, eliminating the consumer mentality, simplifying. Over the course of about a year, I've managed to lower my required income to something that could be covered with half my current paycheck. I live in a smaller place, eat more vegetables at home, spend more time creating instead of consuming. The results were not what I expected. While my career hasn't changed, my attitude has. I don't resent my career anymore because I no longer feel like a slave to it. I have options. It's easier now, I feel, to do a better job because I don't worry so much about the peripheral BS. The point I'm trying to make is, if you're unhappy about your work, you might want to step back farther than just focusing on what you do. Look at the big picture. Work to live, don't live to work. Your skills will improve with time and you'll make more money. Use that to finance the things that give you pleasure. I've been to too many funerals and I've never heard anyone say, "this guy was an awesome (programmer|DBA|basket weaver|etc)."

I know it's not a KVM, but VNC will do the remote desktop thing across platforms. We've been using it for years where machines are too far for a KVM switch. A for USB keyboard in a PS/2 device, it seems like most of USB stuff I've bought lately comes with legacy adaptors.

I pretend to fall asleep
