Nope, just worried about the future. My two big clients wound down in December and January and I'm not making anywhere close to enough to pay the rent anymore. The economy isn't recovering, people are not only not hiring, they are still laying off. Not a good place to be. I need work if anyone has any! Top talent at reasonable prices ;-) John W.
