If I could find something that used any of my skills,  yeah...

This job market sucks lately,  and I've been out of work since June of 2003.

I have a very few.  And am not particularly looking to get rid of them,  
unless I can find some more...

Ain't got one (see above).

The last job I had started out as data entry,  only because I can type 
55-60wpm,  and that didn't last...

Oh,  and I should mention as an addendum to the oringial post (since I've

Wish I could find a solution to that one,  too.
