LOL, what a great expression -- and that's me all over. But I haven't been that bad this time -- I do see all the positives.

The job I'm currently doing isn't that stressful per se, but I'm very bored of it, not enjoying it and want to move on. Add to that the fact I've lived in this town all my life and am now completely sick of it... well, a change is as good as a rest, etc.

Well, pretty sure this new job will be more stressful. The issue with the job is that it's more technical and has no design element which I know I will miss greatly.

Yes, the money is better, but ultimately I decided that wasn't enough reason to take the role. I want to find out what I love because I simply don't know. Do I get stressed in a job I already think I won't enjoy for a year or six months and get so involved I don't seek out what I should really be doing? *That's* my worry.

That's not a worry -- I have a broad set of skills.
Gonna see how this conference call goes -- in five minutes!
