    Sounds perfectly normal to me.

        I'm running about 90 days so far. Sweet.


        Work life balance thing is in the bag.
        Nice going.

        I think ZG has the record though. Something like 18months if I recall correctly.

            Sickness? Never! Even if I need to hire a complete, fully staffed mobile ICU, I'll always make it to work.

                  nice one Cyber!

                  Then you'll have passed through the 3 month "I really should be getting back to work" barrier and come through the other side.

                    I'd aim for the infinity barrier if I had enough dosh!!
