I finally got back into the world of the gainfully employed. It is not my dream job, but it pays the bills.
It doesn't leave me much time to work on the layout, but I take every chance I can.

Congratulations, Matt. My son just hit his one year anniversary on unemployment. It can be a real struggle to find work sometimes. Best of luck in your new job.

Congrats on the new job, Matt. Not to worry if it isn't your dream job at this point. As you said, it pays the bills. Of course, you will continue looking for that dream job, right?

Glad to hear that. You're working and your employer is glad to have you, so that says a lot. Sometimes your, "not a dream job" can be the gateway to one that is.

We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!

Be sure to tell Obama where you found it. He doesn't seem to be able to find any himself.
