Ah, but then I don’t exactly love what I do at the moment, do I? You should know, dear reader, I’ve bitched about my boredom enough in past journal entries.

Ah, maybe I’ll use work tomorrow as some sort of litmus test. But for now, I’m wary of grabbing this opportunity and running with it, so perhaps it isn’t the right thing for me.

PS - bored with IE and Netscape? You might like to try Neoplanet. Just like IE4 “in disguise”. I’m still undecided…
