Someday…
I've been at a new Shop for about three weeks now, and it's got a lot more Drama than I expected. This is not news to my new teammates, but it's news to me, and sadly not something that's so out of the realm of possibility to be considered unusual for the Tech Industry. Rather than go into it, we'll just call it Drama, and leave it at that.
But someday I'm going to work at a place where I can open up this journal again, and not have to worry about anyone feeling threatened, or unhappy, or asking me to shut it down. I think today is not that day, but I'm not sure I really expected it to be. Hoped? Yes. Expected? Nope.
But along those lines, I've decided to spend a little of my free time thinking on new business ideas with some old friends. Specifically, what I could do to get back into business like I want to do, and still pay the bills. I'm not at all sure what that would be, but I'm opening up the entire gamut and willing to think about consulting - like we did with Port-to-Port, and also service and product ideas. Everything is in play.
What I'm really doing is trying to make something happen, as opposed to waiting for something to come my way. I'm not going to stop looking for that magical job to fall into my lap, but I'm willing to take a more active role in creating that job than I was in previous years.
Someday may never come. But I'm going to see if I can't give it a nudge.
