Morning all.

Off to the DEA training academy in Quantico today (they could learn a lot from me .... )

Anyone good at spray painting? I want to prep and spray my Miata hardtop semi gloss black. How many cans do I need?

My point is that when you see how well the organization you are a part of does at the end of the year (we made millions last year) and you get NONE of it, you get a little pissed. That is all I am trying to say.

My boss suggested many things when I started working here. He even suggested a few more over the last year and a half. NONE of it happened. Where is my motivation, then, to push the paper?

Believe me, Alex... I know how you feel. I struggled horribly when I went to Law School. That experience definitely colored my view of what I was capable of for a long time... Nearly a decade. That is how I ended up swinging hammers and got to "where" I am today.

I strongly encourage you to reconsider that opinion. My experience with working towards my masters has been nothing but positive and much, much more pleasant than Law School ever was. I am really angry with myself for not doing it sooner.
I majored in Art. I have no desire to be a starving artist & Adobe software makes my head hurt - so kiss graphic artist goodbye.
