Quote of the Day


A perpetual holiday is a good working definition of hell. - George Bernard Shaw

I can't imagine feeling that way - assuming, of course, I could afford a perpetual holiday. It's not that I don't like my job - I do. Well, today is not a great day for any such question, since I'm stuck doing tedious but necessary work instead of "real" engineering work. Still, though, this too will pass and I'll get back to doing the kind of work that provides some satisfaction at the end of the day.

Even with that, though, the idea of a prolonged holiday working on my condo, traveling to Italy, India, Israel and Ireland (do I have a thing for countries with I's?) sounds more like heaven than hell to me. The problem being that I have limited time and funds for such an endeavor, so I work until I can travel, then I work until I can travel again.
