I do consider myself very lucky. Life is strange. It has'nt all ben a bed of roses, let me not paint that picture. I was laid off from a consulting firm Jan of last year and until three weeks ago had been on and off of contracts. Now I'm perm with a great company in a great locastion and feeling valued again. Gotta ride the peaks and valleys...the valleys sure make you appreciate and be grateful for the peaks. - david > David: > > Consider yourself quite lucky.
