I have neglected to post this but I am happily employed full-time again (as of about 3 weeks ago). I am again a Webmaster/Internet guru guy at a local company that sells satellite internet systems and service nationwide. OptiStreams, Inc. (www.optistreams.com)
Thanks to everyone for their wishes of support over the past few months!!

Congratulations Jim on your new job. It is great news that you are finally doing something you enjoy again.
Heck, you could have come to Missouri and helped me unload my 10 overseas shipping containers from Iraq.

Congratulations Jim. Best news I’ve had today, mind you the day is only 15 minutes old .
Joking aside, really happy that you are once again ‘gainfully’ employed and in your favourite profession to boot!

Thanks guys! I appriciate the support (then and now).
Peter - I actually only worked at the Honda place about 3 weeks. Sold 3 cars...made very little (more in hourly thanks to California's $8hr min wage). So my wife and I decided I was better off doing freelance web work. Then this job came up a few weeks later.
Cheers,
Jim
