There's a scene in Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, that I think I remember from there... where the hobbits are all sitting around discussing "adventures" and remarking how lovely they are, and the one who actually has had experience states that it remarkedly resembles being scared, too hungry, too tired, and too cold.
I'm not particularly a religious man (in fact kinda the opposite). And soon enough, I'll know. As I ran out of money to pay all bills; I landed 2 new contracts, bringing the total to 4.
Because I cannot time-manage worth a damm, and because there just isn't enough me to go around; I just lost one. (an Installshield gig). Drat. However, silver lining is that I have slightly more time to concentrate on the remaining work.
So, I'm working 9-7 or so and am being force-fed information thru a methaphorical fire-hose. We will see if I can keep up; it's pretty intense. And... some of the principals here are Israelis, including the founder of the company one of the designer/implementors. (It's yet another start-up).
(So think T. with a beard and LOTS and LOTS of yelling.) However, I'm learning, and am getting paid intern wages (1/3 usual). So, ... life's interesting.
Bills are still larger, but it's a start. Now I just have to avoid any other unnecessary expenses.
Work is good to have. Any work.
