So what’s change since then?

I also need a new WP theme.

Reason #10 - Most Of Your Accomplishments Are Invisible
Reason #9 - Every Conversation You Have Is Roughly The Same
Reason #8 - You’re An Expert Of Bleeding-Edge Technology Products, Aren’t You?
Reason #7 - Your Talents Are Forcibly Undervalued
Reason #6 - You’re Never Allowed A Moment’s Peace
Reason #5 - People Ask You To Perform Miracles
Reason #4 - Your Assumed “All-Knowing” Status Sets You Up To Let People Down
Reason #3 - You Possess Unlimited Responsibility
Reason #2 - A Life Of Alienation
Reason #1 - You Have No Identity

I can relate to some of these reasons when I was working in IT and had a huge interest in computing. Lately though I feel as my interest in computers is declining. In the fast two months, I don’t think I tinkered with the machines I have. With the new job, I figured I blow some of my money on new hardware or a laptop, but I’ve even been reluctant with that.

I’m in search for a new hobby =P
