Plans B - ?
This morning I realized that if the study I manage evaporates I have no backup plans that do not involve either winning the lottery or joining the French Foreign Legion.
Now that they've had me officially back full-time for most of the last year (as opposed to unofficially/uncompensated for the year prior) the Company is likely going to want to keep me that way to build up other areas of the business.
