It won't stop until I hear you're gainfully employed. I don't know where you're planning to pitch for freelancing but I have a few websites that were really helpful to me when I first started looking into it. If you've already got connections, etc. then that's awesome! If you're looking for somewhere to begin, shoot me a message & I'll get you the links. Don't want to presume :-) Hang in there because we all completely understand (hell I fell off the bloggyverse for a full month when my health crap came up & you all stuck around, and thank you btw!)

I know what it's like and even though I can't offer you cash I'll say some prayers - as far as I'm concerned, they're much better. <br />You seem to me to be a clever guy anyways so I've no doubt you'll get on your feet when your legs stop wobbling.

I enjoy your frankness, appreciate the thoughtfulness of your posting, share your love of sports, and, in general, think that the world is a better place because you are in it (and especially because you take the trouble to actively participate in it). I'll certainly be praying for a quick and satisfactory conclusion to your job search. Keep your chin up - a good man is hard to find.
