Sure it does, but it is better than being far from home feeling miserable. There are times that I want to get into another field, but at 51 years of age, what can I do? Especially in this economy. I am so busy during the work week, [still put in at least 60 or more hours per week], that I do not have the time to really put anything into motion. Guess I will have to wait until vacation time to do anything serious. I would like to work for myself, again, In this economy, what can you get into that so many have lost their shirts already?It will be a rough ride in 2009.
