Thanks to everyone for their wishes of support over the past few months!!

Excellent news mate! A job that matches one's skills and keeps the motivation going on is one of the rather important things in life.

Congratulations Jim on your new job. It is great news that you are finally doing something you enjoy again.

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
