Maybe I'll move to France... Sean: You're exactly right. Where I am right now is the key to getting to where I want to be. The one danger is lingering too long on the stone and ending up staying there forever, but I see no problem with using it temporarily. (At least in my own situation. :)) It'll give me some solid ground to push off against. And I think it's great that I love books so much, too. ;) M: Ooh, that’s cool. Maybe I’ll move to France…

I thikn there's a lot of truth in what he says. But rather than look negatively upon my situation right now, I look at my current job as a stepping-stone job to where I want to be in the future. I think the key is to develop those interests and projects on my own time and, as Steve says, to not define myself by what I do. And I think that's great that you love books so much and have a passion for them. Ben,

Starbucks should look into that. In France, especially the more rural bits, like Provence, cafes will receive your mail and take business calls for you. Starbucks should look into that.
