Be careful for what you wish for...

I have a new job/gig/contract.  (this with my other contracts, might just pay the bills)
...

Let me savor that...

I have a paid-in-advance part time gig that pays something approaching my rate. (well, almost anyway)

Yippee.

I'm doing IT work (support) for a local business, a call center for cosmetic products and various other items.


Hey -- it's work and the checks cash.  The folk are nice to me too!

Who would have thought...
