Techno burnout

I've heard tails of people experiencing techno burnout. They worked in IT for a while and then suddenly just quit. Move off to New England and become whale fisherman. Or others that go off to become lumberjacks. The point is... they go off and do non-technical jobs.

I always thought that I would never be one of those people. I love technology way too much to just give it all up and walk away. My mom used to always tell me "never say never".

I think she was right. I'm starting to feel this burn out sensation and wonder what is it all for? I use some sort of technology daily, but I do think I could give it all up and just walk away from it all.

Perhaps, I just need a vacation. It's been a while and work has been extremely hectic lately. I need to just get away for a weekend or so and go camping. Back to nature and all. My next few weekends look booked, but early November seems free. I need to just pick a date and not give in to all my other demands.
