This was to be my last week. The week I have been working toward since the end of June. October 31st. What they called the date of my “separation.” Oddly, my company decided to keep me. I guess they finally realized I was a hard worker and unusally dedicated. And so I stay. It feels weird. I had almost been looking forward to being unemployed. Of course, the real truth is: I am relieved. Now I just have to figure out how the new arrangement is going to work. Obviously I can’t keep flying to Chicago. Everything will work out. Whatever they have to throw at me I can catch. So, now we shall see what happens. 1 week in Chicago. 1 week in Vegas. And then…. who knows! We shall see.
Right now… I pack.
As you know negotiate a good salary or at least a good hourly rate. I do hope everything goes well, I did contractor for almsot 2 years and it was great fun. Unfortunately the taxman is a real bastard. Good luck and don’t work too hard.
