Don't need to apologize, my own schedule is pretty sporadic with some long wait times as well.

My siblings were in game art programs (animation, 3D, particles, etc.).  My brother used to work for a cell phone company making graphics to test and demo their graphics engines, while my sister works for an actual game company.  My brother really wants to make games.

Your post is unusually good for someone under the influence.  It's fine that you'r talking about yourself, it's what I asked anyways.

I live in the San Diego region, California, USA.  So Southwest, a stone's throw away from Mexico.  It's basically already spring here, its nice and cool, and can even get a bit warm and sunny in the afternoon.  I know the rest of the country is freezing their butts off.  I love my job, mainly because the people I work with are awesome.  I'm not a great programmer, and lack in some skills, but my client is super understanding and gives me work that is a good balance between comfortable and challenging, and still worth something to the company.  Since I'm consulting for them, I don't work very many hours and can work from home, so its pretty comfortable.  I have a pretty decent hourly rate but since I don't work that many hours, I don't make that much so I should be trying to get more clients, but right now I'm living with family and just supplementing the household income.  By family I mean parents and siblings.  I'm not married, and at this point I don't really intend to get married unless life punches me in the face with something unexpected.
