So I may come across as... well I don't know what, being unable to look at myself through anyone else's eyes. Even gloomy if you want.

>Doesn't necessarily mean I feel like that. I'm not in the "beati pauperes spiritu" campus, to become sad when I realize a few nasty facts about how the game works. It worked the same few minutes before, so nothing's changed. Neither will my mood. Except occasional bitching about it :).


Dragan, you are definitely one of the good guys. Bitch or whine or smile as much as you like. You are always worth listening to.

I got some good news this afternoon. Back to work in the morning with a previous client. Very murky as far as duration or specific tasks but it will be nice to drive out of the driveway in the morning with gainful work to do.

Hanging around here so much the past few weeks has helped keep me sane. (Sane? <g>).
