As of today I've been at my job for exactly two years. Wow. Unlike every other job so far I've yet to be bored with this job or to have grown to dislike it. Myr and I, a long time ago talked about an "18 month" rule with tech jobs, where techies get bored and start looking for greener pastures. Well, here I am half a year past that point and none of that has begun to set in. Sure there are annoyances and the occasional morning where I'd rather stay in bed, but I am not constantly annoyed and waking up with a cloud of doom over me because another odious day lurked ahead.

My rule of thumb for when it is time to change is when fleeting thoughts like, "If I got hit by a car and broke a leg, I could get out of work for at least three days," run through my mind on the way to work on a regular basis. After two years here I'm not even close to that.
