I left my art gallery job a little over a month ago, realizing that unfortunately having a passion for the arts doesn't help one like or succeed in a job like that...it's all about hard-core sales tactics which I'm not and never have been suited to.

My new job, which I will start on Monday, involves hand-manufacturing (as opposed to operating mass-production equipment) various products for a hi-tech company less than 5 miles from where I live. I submitted an application last week, interviewed yesterday, and was hired today. I'm excited to finally find something that suites my personality and that combines my fine craft background with hi-tech.
Even better, my commute is now shorter than my husband's

congratulations!!!!
