What's New on Collected Sounds
April 2007

News

Hey everyone!

Busy busy busy!! I mentioned previously, my shake up at work? It consisted of my moving my office out to the corporate office which is in the sticks. I am now working about 40 minutes from my home and it's a very different environment. So things are gonna change and it will affect this site as well. The good news is, I got a few "on the side" jobs in March so if I can keep that going perhaps this is a temporary thing!!

Also a friend of mine and I are starting our own business. So I will essentially be working 4 jobs soon. UGH!

I am in the midst of putting up the forums again. I spend a goodly portion of last evening working on it, hoping I'd have it all up and ready for you today, but it was not to be. After banging my head on the keyboard a few times I decided to start from scratch. So I will be working on that in the coming days and will let you know when that's done. Then we can all chat again!!! Whooo-hooo!

Here's what else is new…
