The Wandering Monkey

Ack.. bird... flu... (cough)... wheeze....

 

No, I'm fine.  Lately I've been mulling what to do about a job.  I'm debating going back into IT, but I don't feel all that good about the idea right now.  I've been getting a resume together, and I think it looks pretty good, but it reads something like this:

1994-2002: Computers, E Commerce, Consulting

2003-2005: Swing dancing, throwing parties, working in movies.

 

I'm having a hard time reconciling this!  I'm going to put it together anyhow.  For a while I thought to leave off the swing dancing thing entirely, but it's a two-year gap if I do that.  So I included it and tried to emphasize the management and PR side of things.

 

The whole creative thing has been good, but I haven't managed to get into a good money situation.  I keep getting these calls and offers to do work for things like 400rmb per day.  That amounts to $US50.  A good offer would be 1000rmb per day, which is about $US125.  Any way you slice it, that's not going to cut the mustard.

 

But when I think about going back into the corporate world again, I blanch (sp?).  9 to 5 for the rest of forever.  We'll see.  I'm going to put my resume out today.  I think it looks pretty good.  Perhaps there will be a new opportunity. I've not yet run into.
