you know Greg, I used to remember those days too, when I got my frist job, that is what I was told, as long as you work hard, your job is secure and you will never be let go..
What did happen to those days.
Today you hve to to have a degree to take out the trash at a company

and if you dont do that right they will hirre a differnt company to do it for you, till you learn to do it correclty or do what your owner is doing,
I am so sorry you thougth this would be the last "paycheck" job you would ever have to take, thill your design company took off. I know how you feel.. I am hoping and praying that your little dept, wont be the one axed...
