After 9 months (or so) of being unemployed (without government aid thanks to their own paperwork f-up screwing me over) I can finally say I have a job that will cover my bills again. Starting tomorrow I will be back to the 9-5 grind, 5 days a week. This means that I will have less free time again, but hopefully I will soon be able to afford to do things with what free time I have again.

Also, I hope that this also means that my drive to create more often will return. Being out of work and doing the hopeless job search was good on the creative front. I don't do well when stressed and depressed.

The only down side is I have to start getting up early and driving a ways to work again. The new one is a bit farther than my last one was, but I have a Hybrid now (purchased right before I lost my last job) so the overall gas costs should still end up being better than it was before. We will see.

Mostly I am just glad that I will have a regular income to cover my bills again, instead of all the questionable odd jobs and family & friends help I have been getting.
