Yeah, one year too long in my opinion looking back I guess but that's ok. This new thing seems ok; time will reveal all.
Not sure on the clock-punching time-frame. A while yet, although there's a few factors that could change that and make it much sooner. I'd like to stop right now but there's a few things I need to achieve first and for that I need to work currently to bring them closer. I am pretty good at balancing my work and life though so it's not all bad.
