    I've jumped from a lot of jobs over the past 10 years. Only 2 have I left on my own terms. I had a real nasty string of bad luck where 2 jobs in a row went under, the next place I went to started bouncing checks and laid me off, the place after that got stale after 6 months but I stayed for 2 years to gain experience, then left for a job that payed 20k more but had a fucko of a CD. I quit after 3 months of the b.s. and went to another company that laid me off a year later with 55 other employees. Bad luck.

    I hear you loud and clear that a company can get stale after awhile but it's your job to do things on your own to liven up the party. al_la was right that it's much like a relationship. Once you realize you work to live and not live to work life gets a whole lot easier. And, for the first time in my career I'm going to be taking advantage of the 4 weeks of vacation I get. At my last few companies I was known for never calling in sick and never going on too many vacations, other than a weekend here and there and our honeymoon. Call in sick at least once a month and just sleep all day to let your body and mind recover. I plan on doing this next week. (keep yur mouth shut studderine!) haha. :)
