Dang. Sorry. Let me try to wrench my foot out of my mouth. We're a civil
(hydraulics and hydrology) firm but will definitely consider you, too MJ -
unless MJ is Mike Jackson, then posssibly not.
Get me a resume if you're serious.

Actually this was directed at you, kemp:
Any chance you'd looking consider anything in Stockton (CA), Orange County

I would continue doing what you are doing, because learning more skills
makes you more valuable. Settling back into a drafting position will be
counterproductive for your future. The only difference is you should
consider taking these skills to another firm. I am in a similar ship,
and preparing to take the jump to another firm. Good luck matey!
