Thanks Judah. I enjoy what I do, and the money isn't lame by NM standards, but by skill standards, it's kinda laughable, and the medical bills are destroying me, bit by bit. I hate being in debt. Working on child care related sites made me feel good about what I was doing, and even tho they were just a part of my (way too many) duties, they kept me 'round more than anything else. There's a whole team of devs/admins for those projects now, and they're a great team, getting along fine without me, so that too has sorta freed me up. The little people are sad to see me go, but I can't help but think top brass is happy to see me go. Not the child care top brass (I love them all quite a bit. Awesome, hard working folk) but the "hard money" top brass who have been doing their best to bring this place to it's knees the last 5 years or so. Bah. It was quite a learning experience, even that. I got to help grow little projects into big monster projects, where those before me were unsuccessful, so that was swell. I like to think that good stuff happens to good people, and good stuff is happening all the time, if we're aware. It's like destiny, almost, but using logic instead (so it's more accessible). Watching the deal about how micro-loans are changing India the other night on PBS, for instance... how awesome is that stuff? Super, I say! Me getting out of a rut? Rob doing the same? And Scott sharing this great news? They are signs, I say, signs! The Universe is telling me the winds are fair & the heading is true, sweavy as it may be! =) :Den -- Our incomes are like our shoes; if too small, they gall and pinch us; but if too large, they cause us to stumble and to trip.
