Well said V1Rotate. It's a tough game to play, especially these days so it's important that you play the game the best you can.
As for yourself being freelance, how did you ever get into that? Do you actually have steady work with one particular company or do you have a network of companies that call you when they need you? Just wondering because I have always loved the idea of being freelance/contract however it just hasn't come my way yet.
AMEX, sorry fella, never heard of the show/series you mentioned, but don't get me wrong, your Corsair certainly does have sex appeal!!!
P.S. How'd you put a picture in your post???
