Job Search and more

As I left my office today, I realized that I was so engrossed in what I was doing that I could have stayed for a few more hours if I wasn't so hungry and my hand wasn't aching.  I liked it that much.  I haven't felt that was about a job in a while, and it's really quite scary.  What happens in the world of animation is you get to loving a job, and then what ever show you are on collapses, finishes, doesn't get green lit, over bids, whatever the case maybe, and then you get laid off.  Everyone says what a great job you did, how much they liked working with you, and as soon as the economy improves, they'll hire you back. (with less pay and no benefits).  So right now I'm in the phase where everything is awesome, and I'm loving it, but I can't help waiting for the other shoe to drop.  This is why I'm trying to get out and into Library Science, but I just love animation, so it's a heart-breaker for me. I hope the economy picks up, and Library's are restored to 7 day weeks, and I'll find that great job out there, but right now today, I'm having a tough time believing it.
