About 3:45pm yesterday I was once again a free man. Was I happy about losing my job to a failed economy? Of course not, but being totally self employed again is sort of an unexpected pleasure. I’ve cut myself from bartending as well so this is the first time I’ve not had a job of some sort besides working for myself since I was 14. Sort of feels like I’m on vacation; which might be called ironic because I never took one while I was working at Fathom.

So how am I going to make bills?
Same way I always have:  web design and hopefully this blog will help a bit too. I’ll have to clean it up, and do something to generate some capitol from it. I’m not paying for college with it (actually I am) but anything I can get at the moment would be great. Might also take up tattooing again on the side for my fun job. I still have my equipment and I get requests all the time. There I go again, adding in more and more… at the start of this blog I was unemployed – now I’ve got shit to do again.

To all my faithful readers, thank you.
According to analytics I see a few more than 1,200 a month. Not too shabby.
If any of you happen to work at really cool design firms, in any country – Im talking applications and am willing to relocate – the time seems about right for that.

In the meanwhile, Thank you Fathom and everyone there I learned a lot in my brief stay. Best of luck to us all in these hard times.
