Work Shmerck!

So, back in April one of our big clients went out of business. Since then our work has slowed quite a bit. Well, on Thursday I found out that Friday would be my last day. I am still going to work as a consultant for them until I find something else. My job before was doing safety inspections and miscellaneous things around the office. Now I will just be doing the safety inspections. I am really hoping to get at least 4 per week, so I will have a comparable income to what it was before. So far I have enough work to last through the end of October. I'm just hoping to get the same, if not more, for next month. I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand it's going to be a bit tough paying the huge mortgage each month and hoping I get enough work. But on the other hand I'm excited to move on to my next adventure. I'm just dreading the job hunting portion! My [former] boss is working on another deal that could lead to more work, so he sad if/when he lands the deal he will bring me back. I'm not really holding my breath. However, I would definitely go back there since I had the perfect flexible schedule. I would LOVE to just do consulting work. Come on, working a couple of days a week on MY terms is wonderful! But I'm not sure I can pull it off...I would just stress too much about getting enough work month to month. I guess the ultimate job would be something part time AND continue to do safety inspections. That would be fabulous! So, in the mean time don't expect any fabulously outrageous gifts from me. And if we go out and I get tipsy and offer to buy the next round (like I love to do) DON'T let me...no matter how tempting!!!

Matt can't complain too much because this means his wife has more time to make him gourmet dinners...
