Um, Hi

posted on september 30, 2003, tag: me

Lots of things have changed in the past few weeks, and most of these changes have taken up considerable amounts of time. Therefore, like usual, I have left this website hanging in the wind, slowly losing one visitor at a time.

For any of you still interested: I left my job of one year last week, and am currently working on several projects with my own company (a few of you will probably remember this company formation a year ago). It's always a huge decision to leave regular work, since there is rent to be paid (especially when you live with your girlfriend), but I've secured enough work to live comfortably for a time, during which I will also be seeking employment somewhere else.

So now I'm working from home, which is very different (even though I've done it before). I'm not used to the solitude that comes from it. It is nice to see my cats all day, though (even though they seem to feel the brightest part of the day is 'sleeping time').

It's an adjustment, but it's better.

Welcome Back.

Thomas, thanks. And drowning, I enjoyed the comment, even though most people don't get the inside joke. Thanks, none the less.

Ummm... congrats! I've thought about just freelancing for a living. But the thought of not having health benefits is scary.

... ohhhh... now I think I get the IKEA comment. IKEA I love you, I hate you?
