valis2I am a little bummed. I may be getting laid off at my "day job".
For four years this little job has helped me stay on even keel. I make my own schedule. I can take whole months off at a time and nobody even blinks. I have grown to appreciate it tremendously, because it is there for me in the lean months.
Now I may be jobless. How many jobs out there are better than minimum wage, let you set your own schedule, do legal research all day on the net (very fun!), and generally let you motivate yourself and do your job with no interference from anyone else? Plus I can listen to my headphones, wear jeans, and have anything I want on my desk.
*sigh*
And it was fun. Er, is fun...haven't lost it yet.
Strange that it coincides with a sudden upsurge in my writing. Perhaps it is the universe letting me know that it's time to take a chance and write that novel. Or maybe I'm just going to sleep in a cardboard box under the freeway. (That was a joke. Really. I hope.)
