Why is gun-collecting necessarily more fun than working? Maybe you don't like your job, but I sure like mine, and if I am going to spend 40+ hours every week for the next 30 years doing something, I had better think of it as something besides a way to finance my retirement, or I am in @i[deep] trouble. Other than the semi- truth that you shouldn't do something you like for a living (and risk taking all the fun out of it for you), you should take your HOBBIES and turn them into your WORK, so you will not feel the way you do about your work. Sheesh.
