    I can't say I agree with that statement at all. There are many many crappy jobs out there. If you can't derive some satisfaction or enjoyment from your job you're simply biding your time before you die. You only live once, so why waste your life?

    Then again, I live in a country where jobs are very plentiful and realize it's not the same everywhere around the globe.

    Sorry to hear that Bill. But I still stand by my statement. Desperate times call for desperate measures which is just harsh reality, but necessity shouldn't be confused with gratitude.

    Listen to the boys from Winnipeg tell it like it is!

    You can have everything, and still not have enough.
    I'd give it all up, for just a little more.

    Spend enough time out of work in an economically depressed area, and minimum wage will give you something to be grateful for.
    Been there...

    Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

    Keep turning brushes the way you do and who knows, you could become the next Thater or Simpson. Maybe in the future there'll be a group buy for Pixel brushes.
