I'm really sorry to hear that, Clive.

Burnout is terrible, and I for one do not want to see that happen to you. I would personally request that you not resign now. Take a week or two off and see how you feel. I hope you miss us and want to come back. I missed you when you were with your brother in hospital, and I'll miss you now.
