When it rains..
Big huge ups and grats to my awesome girlfriend for landing a radical job. She started today as a 3D artist on the Seven Haunted Seas game being developed by Titmouse Games. Titmouse is an amazing studio, the people there are a fantastic lot. I have no doubt she will make excessive amounts of awesome there.
As for myself, I have some awesome leads not only for doing Flash stuff, but also an opportunity to do some project management/production work with a fantastic company. I have the ability and flexibility to pursue some of more more lofty life goals at the moment, some of which are basically unattainable while having a 9-5 job, so I’m going to take this opportunity to make them happen.
Either way, I’ve been pretty thrilled as it turns out that my skillset is in pretty high demand at the moment; within a week of being let go at my former job, I’ve had four opportunities present themselves to me. With the economy being how it is, there are a lot of employers out there who would rather pay for fixed bid freelance/contract projects instead of hiring someone full time.
I’m also thrilled to finally dust off some old chores and bullet points on my to-do list that I just didn’t have time to do. I’m still adjusting to the little differences… not having to be accountable to anyone but myself, being able to go grocery shopping at four in the afternoon. Great power/great responsibility of course. I’m excited for the future!
