Thanks for the support, gang.

"I hope the job goes well enuf to get you by until something does come up that is your passion... don't give up on that.. just give it time...Hang in there!"

It really helps to see that. Thanks, FIA. That's been the issue for me for a long time (finding my passion). Thinking of the new job as something just to "get me by" until my passion appears -- makes it seem less of a life sentence.
