@ Juliet
Well, I like your work of the two that I can see. Would love to see what you could do with birds. But it would have to be at a later date, things are tight right now. As for advertising, have you considered using deviantART as a portfolio for your work?
As for the thread on hand;
I don't really have any first world problems. I love the work I do. We are tight financially, but we are eating and bills are being paid. But if I where to complain; I would like GameMaker, Unity 3D, and Olive Tree Bible App to be available on Linux. If they where, I would not have to use either a Macintosh computer or a Windows computer on a daily basses. I would very much like that.
