Go volunteer as an afterschool tutor, get involved in a literacy program, help out at a soup kitchen, cut the lawn for the old lady down the street. Use your talents to make life better for someone else and your own becomes better. Altruism rules..... "When it crosses my mind to do something, I don't ask why, I ask why not. And usually there's no reason not to, so I just go ahead. It's given me the strangest collection of hats"

The self-confidence that I have now is amazing (and I wasn't exactly short on it before the Ride). I know that I can do anything if I put my mind to it. Volunteering is a powerful tool, both for the recipient and the donor. -YendorMike "The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by the skeptics or the cynics whose horizons are limited by the obvious realities.

I'll bet there's a school or two near by that could use some help with their computers. or maybe the public library has a network they'd like some help with? My sense is that you don't feel your talents are appreciated at work. That's quite common. The best solution, as Don says, is to find a way to use your abilities for people who appreciate it.
