    :-D

    I am sure you will maike out fine Robin. You are a very fortunate man to have a supportive partner who has your back (as we say over this way)

    Best of luck Robin, it's a big step but I'm sure you'll be happier in the long run. I've thought about kiltmaking, but decided I don't want to get buried under a years worth of orders and put up with the pressure. Guess I'm just not that ambitious.

    Man, I've always wanted to do that but it usually happens the other way 'round! I hope it all works out for you. Trust me, I know how damaging it can be staying in a job that doesn't fit. In the long run you'll be much much better off following your heart. How hard is it going to be staying there for the next six months? I hope your boss isn't the vindictive kind that will make the next six months a living hell for you.

    I've worked for myself, and the boss made me work all those hours, get into partnership with others like him, do everything he didn't want to do and all th while he was stashing the cash for his old age. Finally had to quit and lived off his loot for awhile.

    Now im working forthe man and the best part is a sense of irresponsibility when teasing my boss (his doc should give me a kickback for the high blood pressure meds)
