Don't worry.  I'm not following WTA anymore either.

Yep.  I design the enterprise architecture that enforces security 
across an entire enterprise's information technology infrastructure.  
For the first time in a long time, I don't hate my job right now.  I've 
given up the hectic world of contracting to take a "permanent" job for 
a government agency in Washington, DC.  I am hoping to relax and have a 
stable life for a while.

If my family can get used to me, anybody can get used to anything.  But 
sometimes it's a long, slow process.
