up and coming

applied for a few jobs today .. got a bunch more in the email box that i didn’t apply for. that’s the way of the job hunt now for a guy like me.

don’t read this wrong: flowmingle is still alive and well, we’ve launched our signup page and as soon as we get good populations we’ll start putting together jumbles for everyone. but as this phase of the project’s development comes to a close, we’re either going to need to seek funding or find some contract cash to keep the lights on. the heavy lifting’s done. now it’s about the waiting. and the advertising. and the supporting cast.

given monday’s run (1 mi @ just under 10min) i think my foot/knee is in reasonable shape to move forward. let’s hope.

life continues to be strange. there’s a holding pattern here that i’ve trod into a deep rut. it might be necessary to break out of it, we’ll see. several of the jobs i’m being looked at for are far enough away to form a separation from my current life. curious to see how i’ll handle that in the face of free capital flowing my way.

don’t get me wrong—i’m pretty sure i could make just doing short remote contracts. especially given that i do have some savings, and my rate is not terrible. the real question is the house.

yes, the house. i’ve put a lot of work into this little baby, and it just needs a little spit and polish at this point. but the market.

there’s a lot about my life i want to change. still has to be done one thing at a time.
