Apr. 18th, 2002 10:38 pmSo I've been busy. Client #1 has been grabbing my daytime, side-job #1 has been grabbing most evenings, and I've been sprinkling side-job #2 in between (not to mention ex-client #3 having some problems and helping him out, more or less gratis.)
The side-jobs have been low-to-no pay for now, but future dividends will make it worthwhile. At the least, if Client #1 fails (which is looking less and less likely in the short term) I have my pick of places to land. One of which may be pretty sweet. At best, side-job #2 will pay me nicely and fade away, and side-job #1 will turn into steady side-income with just the occasional management as I work on building Client #1 into a respectable market force.
I took a break this evening and went to my neighborhood hangout. I had a perfect martini mixed by my favorite bartender, and had a variety of appetizers to create my own tapas-like supper. Caramelized onion, corn, and tomatoes in a beef broth stew/soup; potato skins wrapped around cheese, sour cream, and spicy barbecued bison; and crab-stuffed shrimp over black beans.
I left the restaurant in 80 degree weather at 10PM, a bright crescent moon hanging just above Jupiter; a taste of next month's savory five-planet conjunction.
