Maybe you should consider that an a new revenue stream. ;)<br /><br />Seriously though, I don't think I would have survived the last year without being able to turn to you and say "You are never going to believe what my boss just said/did!" We might have just kept each other sane. (Of course, we'd have to be sane to begin with) <br /><br />I think this next year is going to be chock full of Awesome for both of us. Can't wait. *hugs you 'till you pass out* :)Kris F.

It seems like we've been commiserating for years over our day jobs -- and to think I was freed from mine in March and you have now freed yourself from yours in October. What a great year for both of us!!!! <br /><br />I hope you find much happiness in the days ahead as you learn to adjust -- I can't begin to tell you how wonderful it feels. <br /><br />And that clip summed it all up nicely -- what I wouldn't have given to smack my old boss on the head with a rubber arm. :)<br /><br />Congrats, Kris -- so well deserved...I can't wait to see what genius transpires from days spent in your hammock!Erin L.

Of course they'd probably miss the humor, but still, at least we'd all get to watch a movie. :) And I plan to do everything I can to treat my "wild and precious life" right. Starting with lemon scones and yoga in the actual, honest-to-god sunshine. :)Kris F.

I would so love to see that viral video! What a hilariously fantastic idea! And I know the scene from Office Space (love that movie!) and it totally makes me laugh every time. When I was teaching, it was the photocopiers that drove me to the brink. "So long and thanks for all the fish" is the only appropriate way to end that video, I have to say. :D Enjoy every moment of your new 'wild and precious' life!
