It's Sunday, and I'm coming off of a five gig sprint in two weekends, I'm exhausted and my voice needs damage repair with the Throat Coat tea for a few days. I have been LOVING working for myself this past week, I make my own hours, curl up and code all day, code from Starbucks or wherever I want to, and it's been so relaxing and enjoyable. I have interviews lined up all next week, quite a few pretty good looking prospects. I've got PLENTY of work to keep me occupied up until that point, and no micromanagers or lazy managers breathing down my neck -- I work so much faster without the unnecessary moronic management tactics that some places employ ;-) Why do they think it's necessary? I've never seen the tactic work when it all boils down, heh.

Well, I'm on the market for a new job! I'm looking forward to it -- my last contract was so long that it was time to make a change and get back to doing what I love. It was nice to step off the sinking ship ;-) The only rough part was going from that to having to get onstage and sing my heart out three hours later -- that kinda stunk, but it was an awesome gig at Suede and the crowd was fantastic! I've got one more gig to go this weekend, my voice is at the edge after two nights already of singing. I'm on the tea and chicken noodle soup all day, and lots of water of course.

Monday I'll head out to a few places and see what's up with the jobs, I noticed the market's looking better. I'm looking forward to getting my hands dirty and cranking out work on a new project. Fun!

I hear I missed a rather vulgar Super Bowl MCMIFOVSVIIEIO last night... yawn. Haven't we seen Janet Jackson's mammaries before somewhere? I thought she already posed for one mag or another. And yes, of COURSE that was planned -- don't be naive. :)

Gig last Friday went pretty good. Met some great people. I have three gigs coming up this weekend, so I'm not going to be going in to the day job on Friday. For me to work Thursday, gig Thursday night, work Friday, gig Friday night, and then Saturday night gig would probably put me in the hospital for fatigue the way I run around like an idiot onstage, not to mention the 2 hours of sleep a night I get when I have to do Thursday night gigs. Looks like a full weekend with a lot of Throat Coat tea and plenty of naps.

Tonight I think I'll watch Groundhog Day since it's playing on Starz. One of my favorite movies, and so apropos for a Monday (not to mention the fact that it actually IS Groundhog Day today). Little rat said we have six more weeks of winter. Color me surprised. I need to work on my character sheets for the toon I'm creating, but I have what the outside world calls "real work" to do tonight. Bah.
