    I'm at one of those points in life where I want a complete change.

    There's an industry reaching fruition point that I've always been interested in, since a kid, and I reckon I could re-task to it within a year.

    I could either sell-up my work assets and try and chance it with some web and whatever-bullshit-design work to aid continuity, but at my age... well, some of my youthful arrogance is gone.

    I have days where I really hate what I do, and all the days that make up for that are ones already long-since trodden.
