The good news is I saved a ton of money signing up with Geico. Ok, maybe not.

The good news is that you're not dead yet and are probably loved by many.

Actually the good news is that I am starting my 2-week vacation the day after tomorrow! WOOT!

Take time. It's not right to do that to yourself. If your job keeps you from doing it you probably should look for another job. You should get AT LEAST 2 weeks a year minimum anyway. It's important for your sanity. In my case, I have a kid out of school and I save up my time so I can take this every year. The thought of having the time off upcoming keeps me going a lot of the time.

Mo, the good news is I made it home safely for the first time in five months. :D

It was my little girl's 6th birthday today and she got the one thing she really really REALLY wanted and the look on her face when she knew what she was opening would have melted even your cold metal heart.

@Joe - I wasn't talking about taking a holiday either. You should take at least 2 weeks a year off (not necessarily at the same time). It's not right to work that hard and never take time off. You are doing yourself a great disservice by not getting away from things for a while occasionally. It's not good for your mental health.

Honestly, if you want on-demand, 'smart', on-topic conversations for your niche or interests, 100% of the time, consider heading back to specific, zero-tolerance IRC/Usenet/forums for what you want. Or ensure the people you subscribe to *absolutely* only post about these things, all the time. IMHO, it's easier to find the Fountain of Youth.
Exactly, I use such antiquated means for 100% specific information a lot of the time. It's unreasonable to expect mediums such as Twitter are going to be 100% focussed.
- Mo Kargas
Yes, the point of social networks seems to be to expand your horizon through connected *people* and not just one of their specific interests as before.
- Thomas Bøhm
wait.... you found the fountain of youth, Mo? POIDH!

At ease, gentlemen. It's in regard to this: http://friendfeed.com/scoblei... , but moreover to the same whining about the same gripe over and over. Not the first or last time I've heard it. What I'm trying to say, is people are looking in the wrong places.
- Mo Kargas
What I say on all websites: Don't find what you're looking for? Create it yourself or leave. It's simple, but people feed off the attention whining brings them.
