I don't know. That's really a good question. I guess we'll have to see where things go if I up its status. I will say though that I've had a lot of websites up to this point, and it is definitely the one I'm most proud of. @Mark - I'm glad you've apparently found some value in this one. But in regards to what you've said, I know exactly what you're talking about. And that's probably why I evaluate things every 2 1/2 years. For me, that's more than long enough to say, "This isn't working, time to change." @Teeni - Hey buddy, I'm glad you did. (#):) The more I think about the 2 and 1/2 years, the more I think that I reserve that long time frame for jobs. Because (at least for me) by then I should know if I want to go any further with it, I can evaluate raises and all the like. (That's if I make it 2 1/2 years). @Valentin – … I don’t know.

I feel the same way about so many of the things you discussed here. The two and a half year life review is a great idea. One year is just too short a time and two and a half just makes sense. Any longer is no good because why should anyone wait any longer to make changes that will make them happier?!!! Awesome post - I really enjoyed this. Thank you!

It's an ongoing balance between "how much am I not enjoying this?" vs. "should I tough it out a little longer because it'll hopefully get better?" There's always that hope that things will get better, but the wisdom that we need is knowing when they really won't. Good, thought-provoking post, buddy!

Most people start thinking about where they are .. especially when the holiday season closes in. I have a similar policy, "If it sucks, drop it." haha Just in time too.
