Home and Work

posted on october 23, 2003, tag: me

It's been so long since I wrote an entry, I almost considered waiting even longer. But then, I guess, the eventual problem is that waiting longer turns into waiting longer, until eventually five years go by and all of a sudden I write a new entry—and the only people reading it are me and the guy who got here by searching for "drink piss." That's not a good outlook.

Anyway, last time I wrote I had just left my last job. The past several weeks have been spent doing freelance work. It's been great, but busier than I imagined. I've been working nearly 7 hours a day here at home, which is pretty substantial considering that I have a television, bed, refrigerator and cats here to distract me. I had four projects to finish, of which I've completed 3 so far. The last one is the largest, and I'm working on finishing that as soon as I can, since I also just got another job.

Yes, that's right—I left one job a month ago, and as of Monday I am employed again. It's astounding really. And, get this—I applied for the job on Monster.com. Unbelievable. I'm not lying, I promise... I got the job from Monster.com. Yes, I know, Monster.com never works. I know. I know because I believe that, because I've experienced it too. Every time I've tried to use it, nothing has ever happened. Until this time. Monster.com. Crazy.

I start the new job Monday, which leaves me only one more day of home working. I'll miss it, but I love money and having a regular income of it.

I got the job I have now through Monster.com. I didn't believe it either. Sitting around in my apartment in State College, PA thinking how much I hate my job - next thing I know I'm offered a job in Harrisburg. Steady income is very nice.
