What a great question Sean. I too have thought about that many times in numerous situations ... Some thoughts: If you're no longer passionate about or lack emotion towards what you're doing, firstly, examine what caused/triggered this loss. Based on those facts, determine whether or not it's worth your time to 're-ignite' that passion/emotion (put effort into sparking that fire again). If you realize that it's not worth your time, then you're not truly passionate about it, which means that you should move on. If you're no longer challenged by your job or career (but feel inclined to keep it for whatever reason(s) - i.e. family, income, reputation, etc.), find different ways to spice it up (i.e. take on a new project, ask your boss for more responsibilities, etc.). Of course, this is just one person's take on the whole "to change or not to change" question...it's ultimately about finding that balance. That's what life is all about. In the end, it's never just about your career....

Crime reporting is pretty hardcore stuff. I actually don't understand why it's reported so much... Well, I guess it sells newspapers, so that's why. I'm pretty sure that crime reporting makes people scared so they do less things in their lives. It'd be nice to create a newspaper where you only report on events you consider important...but I guess that's what blogs are. Kyle Yeah, I watched Capote the other night.
