Oh no, I think its contagious! ;) You're not going to take up cooking are you? ;)

I'd decide what I want to do instead, and make plans to start doing it.

So don't be a scientist anymore. There's nothing that says that just because you have advanced degrees in it, you have to do it forever. Find something that makes you happy.

Well, we all stop loving you unless you move to Boston, gas prices soar to $5 a gallon, everyone blames you, and world stops turning.

Just kidding -- except for the moving to Boston part. Better to know sooner rather than later. What was the answer to "what if I don't want to be in Italy any more?" You moved, dealt with the pain in the butt, but you dealt with it.

You have a loving husband and loving friends and you are very smart. If you're not happy where you are during the day, find a place that will make you happy. Think of your career as a relationship -- if you're not happy, you have to leave it.

You go to school to become an astronaut-veternarian-ballerina. At least that was always my fallback... :o)

They DO suck, but they are also highly entertaining.. :)

Then don't be. Life is too short to deal with a soul sucking job.

My Mom kicked over the traces at 53, went back to school for a Ph.D., moved clear across the country at age 57 and started teaching what she wanted to teach to the people who she most wanted to teach.

The moral of the story - you are never too old to change your mind and start your life again somewhere new doing something you always wanted to do.
