Late Friday night I'm online and thinking of going to bed.. a little tired and stressed out from all the latest happenings. Nothing out of the ordinary.
So normal that I'm just chatting on MSN with a couple friends. I was talking with an old school chum about how things are going.. health, work, and all that. I tell him a little of my current concerns regarding health stuff and I start to get into work things. I tell him how I'm not entirely satisfied with my current job, how another opportunity has presented itself the night before and that I might take it -- when I realize it's not who I thought it was. "That's disappointing to here," pops up on my screen and tips me off to who I'm really talking to... my boss!
So I did what I could to smooth things over so I still have a job come Monday. However, I'm still rhuminating on the situation... it's true that I do want to leave my job eventually and start freelancing. I think it's the only way I'm going to be able to move my career ahead at the pace I want it to go. This opportunity is for a contract that could land me enough money to do that -- problem is I don't have enough money to back me up should I not get the contract.
So while risky (and trust me, I've taken plenty of risks in the past) and exciting, I'm slowly coming to the conclusion that I should smooth this over on Monday and play it safe by bringing in this contract to the company. I'll talk with my contact beforehand to ensure that I keep the client if I walk away from my job... but this way I'll at least get commissions on it, plus the paycheques. Then in a couple more months when I have enough saved up and another contract comes along, I'll have the backing to walk away and set out on my own.
Sound about right?
Anyway... so many hard decisions have just come up in the last week. It's pretty amazing how life can be like that.

Why would you want my sets to be mournful, you little Emo spawn? I think Passion Play's as sombre and serene as Manko will ever get.
If you tried to say it would be nice to see something more plain from me once in a while, I'm gonna stick my heel through your neck you bitch.
