Who was your most influential mentor and what did they teach you?

Though I failed his class the first time I took it, and even though I still an not an amazing typographer, Mathew Kirshenbaum taught my traditional type class... and his saying he would preach was, "make mistakes faster."

What kind of job are you looking for?

I'm looking for something more than just a job, but the start of a career. Honestly I'd like to find a place that would become a base of operations. I've always been a bit of a rolling stone, but a company that often contracts out employees for off site work would be a perfect fit.
