Did you the “12-pack ab” each of those patriots was sportin?!? I sure wouldn’t want to mess with those warriors.</p> Looks like our brave patriot fighting in the War of Ideas (TM) had some Hard Work(TM) to do after all.

That she hasn’t been able to find a gig as a graphic artist (her degree area) is probably disappointing to her. The problem with working 70 hour weeks as she is is that her facility with the visual arts isn’t going to be helped. And in artistic positions it’s the current portfolio that is important.

The longer she continues to work those sorts of hours and neglects her art the more difficult it will be to break into the graphic arts world.
