Egads. I see I left several words out in my original post.

Correction: This reminds of something = This reminds me of something

Correction: even if it meant staying up for days to them done = even if it meant staying up for days to get them done

I'm hoping to switch back to freelance. I'd rather not work in an office. Drawing or designing while smoking a pipe sounds like a good thing.

It sure is. You can listen to what you want to as well. And if there's one thing I know, it's late, long hours. From 2004-2010, I was doing over a hundred pages a month of Sonic the Hedgehog and various Archie comics, plus writing articles and conducting interviews for Alter Ego magazine, of which I am still the associate editor, which took a lot of time, too. I also wrote/edited five books. I worked 14-20 hours a day, seven days a week. Didn't take a vacation, and only took half days off for Easter, Thanskgiving and Christmas Eve. I took every job I could before the slow bust came, which I knew was going to happen.
