To clarify, this is my situation as well... Although there is almost always work with the exception of the week around Xmas and the occasional canceled block.

Are there "9-5" studio gigs out there? If so, I need to know who I can knock off to get one of those!

So in summery...you are not, nor have you ever been a staff engineer?
