Default Is it a jjj job?

One of the things I noticed about your post is a pattern that's plagued me throughout my working career.

1) Take on a new very challenging job, usually a big stretch as I'm good at convincing people I can do a job I've never done before.

2) Give everything I've got during the first six months, so I get up to speed.

3) Start doing rather signficant things during the next six months.

4) I then realize I can do the job and enjoy the fruits of my labour over the next six months.

5) Start looking for a new challenge.

Without fail, I repeated this pattern over five times. Personally, I would look to other things in life to fulfill the "I need a challenge" gap -- start up a small business (ala tommy), marriage, kids. When other things fill up, it puts the poker into perspective and becomes easier to play.

Cheers
