Welcome, Catherine! Glad you could join us. :D

Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also want to look at Geek and Nerd Haven, Young Atheist Women, Atheist Writers, Atheist Artists, Atheists Who Are Artists, and Godless Gamers.

Cool, that's a start, then.

I was thinking something more like the way that people who are trying to get into some sort of artistic field do something to pay the bills in the mean time. I thought you might be doing something like that, only had a REAL backup career, not just something piddly, like waiting tables.

I'm doing that, only in the I.T. field.
