Recently laid-off


It's been exactly a week.

I was recently laid off of my "day job", a bitter-sweet transition. In many ways I didn't want to be there. I felt I was living in a drama-induced environment with little or no creativity.

Ironically, I took a pay-cut to try out an Online Marketing job vs. a Geeky Software project manager / business analyst. Good opportunity turned into great experience but, not altogether where I saw myself, and then the dreaded news about financial cuts backs lead to my unemployment.

I now, join the ranks of the unemployed. I'm grateful in many ways, I don't have children. I have fewer living expenses then I have had in my life.

The first time in my life I am qualified to collect unemployment. Something I actually always wanted to do.

Now, I have time. Crazy amounts of time and I'm trying to figure out how to support myself 100% with my music ventures...and other creative pursuits.

I'm excited about my freedom, anxious about not having enough money but at the same time truly optimistic. =)

This is blog is a journal of everything going on in my life.
