3. Working for an architectural firm-
some drafting for their structural department, and some IT. He worked for them previously, and did similar work, but in the architectural, rather than structural department.

4. I'll feel a LOT better, once he starts getting paid!
But yeah, this is a HELLUVA lot better than his being unemployed. He's been having problems getting his unemployment payments started, so we deperately need to get some money coming in. This is a very.good.thing.

10. I haven't the patience.
I'm rash, impulsive, uncontrollable... I'm one of those crazy mofo's who buys the two-dollar lint roller at the checkout, even though it's just a glorified roll of masking tape.

13. That was what he originally trained for.
He moved more into CAD Administration and IT, before he worked at the last place, so he hasn't been heavy into drafting, but he's still capable, and he'll be doing the IT stuff at the new job as well. Thanks! I'm looking forward to things becoming a bit more sane in a while!

31. Not too bad, thanks.
Right now she's trying to decide if she wants me to be the best thing that ever happened to her or her worst nightmare.

I'd think it's a no-brainer...but she's 13.
