Tonight
We're headed to Richmond. Good times.
I've updated the muxtape. I've had a long 2 weeks, not having a day off, and including some 10/11pm and 2 am days/nights. Actually, the 2 am night was followed by being back in the office at 7:30. Not fun. Worked Sat/Sun, so I haven't had a day off since the previous Sunday. It's about time. So, in my tired state, the only thing that kept me awake on the 30 minute subway right back to the BK was angry(ish) music. That's what comprises the muxtape this week. If you don't dig on the metal/post-hardcore stuff, you'll want to skip it. But, it's all i listened to this week, so it seemed appropriate.
Speaking of work, I haven't really explained what's going on in terms of my employment. I've been working for just shy of 3 months now, but not on staff. I've been freelancing, so I still don't have a FT gig. However, I did have an offer from another agency. But I want to stay where I am. So, I told the current agency about the offer and basically it worked out that, due to budgetary red tape, they couldn't offer me a job. But they want to and wanted me to turn down the other gig, so they offered me a 4 month contract/extension as a freelancer. That way, they could buy time to offer me something and keep me in place. I decided to stay b/c the opportunities are much better here...I'm actually working on more projects than I ever have. At the same time, it was/is a gamble b/c nothing is set in stone that they have to offer me a job at the end of the four months. It felt weird turning down a sure thing for a not-so-sure thing. I guess only time will tell. I'll either have a job, or I'll be back out on the market looking around. Here's to hoping for the former, not the latter.
Did I mention we can't wait to get down to Richmond?
