right now I am envious of my friends with great careers.

Certainly I am happy for them but I too want to be going overseas for work, groaning that I have too much on my hands, wishing I had time to kick back and planning a holiday to get away from work.

Since when has my life been validated by me being a working woman? This is just so wrong and it shouldn't be. But I have no idea how to maximise the time on my hands with a limited budget. Ideas somebady?
