I haven't worked since June 27th. I finished up my last contract, took off to Portugal for a week to present at a conference in Lisbon, traveled back to Canada for a month between the island, Vancouver and Penticton and now I'm hanging out in Yunnan province in SW China between Vietnam and Tibet, just travelling with my wife and studying to prepare for some Chinese proficiency exams. I figure I will probably start work again some time in the next couple of months, but even then I definitely plan on spending a year developing areas of my life that I've just been too busy for over the last couple of years. Frankly, I feel like I've really lost my will to go back to work for anyone else again.
