Every so often (about every other month) I get a little jaded over my online goings on. Something like my trouble with the captcha plugin from a few days ago brings me down and I get a bit blue about the whole thing. It isn’t that I’m not qualified to do what I’m doing, it’s just getting over the bump in the road. I find myself wondering if it’s worth doing at all.
Usually a few days will go by and that feeling gets a little less. Or I fix the problem and it goes away completely. In any case, so far in this little think I like to think of my digital empire, I have yet to really seriously consider quitting. It’s taken too much of a root in my life to do so. Maybe one day I won’t think so anymore and I’ll pull the shutters, but for now, I trudge on.
What do the rest of you do when you hit a bump? What keeps you going? Do you switch focus for a while and work on different projects? I’d really like to know. I’d like to try some new things and hopefully your answers will give me some ideas!
Oh, and a thank you to Mr. Robert Heinlein for the inspiration for the title of this post. Sometimes you have to look beyond the screen for that.

Hey, thanks for the webology. I totally get where you’re coming from on this one. I work in the marketing department at an online retailer (ethernet cables, DVI to VGA converters, all super geeky stuff), and I have to switch up what I’m working on from time to time to keep from losing my mind entirely.
