Yeah, I have 495,000 shares from the B that Chapter 11'd that I can line my dog's' crate with. I keep it around because it's funny (and terribly depressing) to look at

For me, it's the stress levels, I've got a long running problem with stress and anxiety. My current job, whilst [censored], pays well and being a worker drone has it's advantages, I rarely get called whilst on leave. Problems at work hardly ever land on my desk, I think being in the (b) situation would just make me ill.

Yeah, I think it's pretty amazing that you're doing both jobs and also working on Jemplode/RMM/riorid/riobackup at the same time.

By the way, did you get my last email about riobackup?

I have that problem with all the work I do that isn't OpenAFS or Cyrus. I have a problem with focus.

Ugh. Waking up at 6am on a Saturday. It's amazing how much of a stress-inducer money is, even when you try to tell yourself it shouldn't be. Oh well. I meet with my friend today to look at #'s to see if this move makes sense for both sides.

Sadly, money is as addictive as drinking, drugs, smoking (oh, yeah, I already said drugs, sorry...), gambling, etc. It takes a great deal of effort and discipline to take a lower income job by choice. Still, if the tradeoffs are worth it... That is why I think you are doing the right thing: going through all of the numbers and options in advance to see if it can be done and if it makes sense.
