Hmmm, I quit my job 4 1/2 years ago to be a SAHM, does that count?

Actually, I want to quit my job again, but now my job is full-time childcare and housework and "quitting" means hiring someone else to do my job, which means getting a job. My dream is to do telecommute web applications development work while traveling around the US. Inspired by this thread, I went over to craigslist to see what the current programming job market looks like and actually applied for a job that looks ideal. So send your positive energy this way!

Also, at the beginning of the year I encouraged DH to quit his job doing software test because he kept having to do manual test instead of developing the automated test framework which has been his preferred project. Instead of letting him quit, his boss gave him a raise, told him he will not have to do manual test anymore, and gave him more flexibility to telecommute. So that worked out pretty well.

Good luck to all the quitters out there!
