Work sucks. The market sucks. The day to day BS sucks. I am taking tomorrow off, calling in sick, and I am going to try and hit 1000 shutter clicks. I am angry and I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE. Life it too short and I am going to go play. Who is with me? LET'S GO.

It's still a strong possibility, but I probably won't make the move until next year. Still a lot of little details to work out (like if they will let me do my job from there!) I sure hope it works out!

Haha, I've just been offered early retirement by my employer. I'll have to do some number crunching to see if it's doable.
