I've thought about doing the freelance thing but then I get worried I'll get lazy and not actually hunt down and look for jobs - and I'm not really big on self-motivation. ;) Having a steady job definitely puts me at ease. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-52054875242674225442008-05-25T22:42:00.000-04:002008-05-25T22:42:00.000-04:00Hi Spandrellol, it's just my homegrown theory, mor...Hi Spandrel<BR/>lol, it's just my homegrown theory, more for laughs than anything. But I'm with you. Being in a consistent place does wonders. It takes someone who can adjust to or thrives on change.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Kelly!<BR/><BR/>Hi Dana<BR/>I'm sure this is the modern predicament - cell phones, eating while you walk, and doing just about anything else other than what you're doing at the moment.<BR/><BR/>Thanks Sonia!<BR/><BR/>Hi RB<BR/>there goes my theory, lol!

I totally agree with you on the security (even if it may a false sense sometimes) of having a steady something. it opens up more space in your head for dreaming :)Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759472412571087648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-50445106971175037462008-05-24T10:34:00.000-04:002008-05-24T10:34:00.000-04:00Great slice of life shot!

But in my industry, full-time work isn't necessarily any more secure, so it's a comfort knowing I've got freelance-able skills to fall back on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-64092593013852204912008-05-24T07:55:00.000-04:002008-05-24T07:55:00.000-04:00lol, Carolyn.
