You probably forgot that a long time ago, Bob!

I got a job once working at my hobby - building models, not operating
transit vehicles.  It didn't take long before I discovered it wasn't much
fun creating-on-demand.  So instead of finding another hobby I found another
career.  Best thing I ever did was get into computers before most people
knew what they were.  I spent 40 challenging and enjoyable years doing
everything from maintaining operating systems on mainframes (I can explain
"mainframe" if you really need it explained Derrick :-) ) to deploying
software to 35,000 PCs.  And when I came home I had my models to help to
forget about idiotic management for awhile.  Now I have my modeling as often
as I want, but I can't figure out what I'm trying to forget!!!

I've been told that if you work at your hobby, you'll find another hobby.
Not necessarily so.

Of course there is a downside - many co-workers will be suspicious and
wonder why you are not miserable like everyone else.  (:>)
