Self re-invention is an awkward and somewhat overly revealing process. Ever take a long, honest look at yourself without the sugar-coated happy ...

Yeah. The whole J2EE stuff lasted all of a couple of weeks. I'm out in Baltimore, and the whole research project thing isn't really doing it for me. Right now, I need to find a crappy second job. It is damn near impossible to find a second job around here!
