a huge step in the right direction

I started a contract job doing Flash design/programming yesterday! It's incredibly satisfying and fulfilling to work on a job that actually requires my skills and provides a challenge, as opposed to my job at Starbucks making lattes and Frappuccinos for/with a bunch of idiots. Alas, this job only runs until the end of June, so I won't be able to quit the latter anytime soon. Which is especially difficult because after working on Flash stuff, going to work at Starbucks feels like a demotion. Still, it's real-world experience, and it'll look good on a resume.
