Be careful what you wish for Gary. Sometimes working in a business where
you love the end product can leave you in a position where you don't love
the end product as much. I was always a music lover. Then I spent more
than 8 years in the music retail business. There are still some great CD's
that I can't listen to anymore because they were played over and again in
the store. I've heard some of them probably 200-300 times.
I often wished that I had just stayed an outsider to the music business and
retained my love of music. Having gotten away from it for over a year now,
I'm slowly rediscovering some of the joy of listening to music that was
lost for so long. But of course now I work with computers.... and I used
to really like them. I'll never win. :)
Enjoy LEGO from the perspective of a die-hard fan. It's truly worth
enjoying. That's my advice to the world at this late hour.
Warm regards everyone,
Allan
