  • Funny how life works sometimes...

    So yeah, still unemployed. Still looking.

    Now, in theory I'm actually freelancing and have been for the last couple of years. Thing is, it's not something I like doing. It's fine when I have a steady client or a contract position - then I don't mind. But actually looking for work isn't something I like doing. I don't like having to put myself out there and trying to convince people to like me enough to hire me. Which is pretty much how I am about most everything in my life, actually. I'm not going to pester somebody to be friends with me; I'm not going to go out of my way to try and persuade someone to go out on a date with me.

    And I wonder why I'm unemployed, single and a hermit...

    Anyway, after coming to the conclusion a few weeks back that the freelance thing probably isn't my best bet, now some interesting possibilities are maybe going to land in my lap, thanks to a former coworker and current friend. It could prove steady enough that I'd only have to get a couple small jobs here and there to make ends meet, and I'd be working from home. Or wherever, as long as I can plug in my laptop.

    Sometimes the universe moves in strange, or at least unexpected, ways. And Punky, expect a phone call - assuming of course you read this before I manage to get in touch with you. I'll be asking for some advice.
