Will Work For Work

Awww,ouch! I had to restart my computer from a dead freeze, and all of my notes about yesterday have been lost. I know better than to go so far without saving my data, but my OS has made me lax.
Anyway… yesterday, I spent a considerable amount of time uploading samples to my agency’s web site to help with this latest work development. It’s a very time-consuming process which has become the expected norm for designers. You can’t get an interview and portfolio review without online samples.
Working on this has stirred up a lot of mixed feelings, and I’ve been sorting the tares from the wheat. I suppose most of my problem stems from having already gone through this process once, with no tangible results. (The agency’s site recently underwent a redesign, so I’ve had to do this again. That’s OK,it’s better this time.)
I do have a better attitude about the whole situation now, though. After carefully taking “self” out of the equation, I can see that this opportunity offers some unique and profound possibilities. All things considered, I am feeling very positive about working all the way out in Tacoma right now.
I’ve taken some rather drastic measures today to finalize my major financial obligations. I am doing this without any confirmation of work, but it seems to me that I need to set things in order as quickly as possible so I can move on. I’m looking forward to closing this chapter of my life.
I’ve had the weekend to make my decisions. Tomorrow I will be asking my agency some tough questions about the assignment, and will be contacting my lawyer to finalize my bankruptcy.
So be it.
