It's Sunday night and I've had x glasses of wine, so don't take me too seriously, but:
- Broadly, I love what I do, but there are still some bits (mainly dealing with *hole clients) that are a pain. What I've found increasingly useful as the years have gone by is the ability to say *&^ you and move on. Doesn't happen often, but ... - My wife is a teacher. A big problem we have is that she can't take time off out of term, which really cramps our style. In this profession we're quite lucky in some ways. I could semi-retire now, but her job is the main obstacle at the moment. - I don't see 'retire' as a true/false proposition. What it's about these days (and what I'm working towards) is a gradual wind-down. - Do I want to wind down? Yes. Not because I'm tired of what I do but because life has many other options. And my wife and I have reached the stage where we have no obligations (such as raising children etc...) and have the opportunity to explore those. - In short 'I love what I do, and plan on doing it until I keel over on top of my keyboard.' is too simplistic.

Why not do that now? -- Cheers ============ Brian Abbott ============ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
