Life Update
There is snow on the ground right now, and that is a very good thing. We didn’t end up getting as much as expected in Frankfort, which is a bummer. I was pretty anxious for the possibility of eight or nine inches of snow. Oh well.
Snow days seem to be a good day for everyone to catch up with life. I was just on Facebook and noticed a lot of my friends uploading pictures, videos, changing their profile pictures, and updating their status to the likes of “I didn’t go to work today, so I’m cleaning the house.” I figured I’d use part of my snow day to post on the ol’ blog.
As of a couple of weeks ago, I am now a full-time freelancer. After four and a half years, I decided to leave CLS. I enjoyed my time at CLS, but really felt like it was time to pursue either BADmedia full-time, or see what other web and graphic jobs are out there in the world. So far, I’ve applied for a few full-time jobs, but haven’t landed anything yet. If I am offered a job, it will be a tough decision to choose between the security of a full-time job, or the freedom of freelancing. I have really enjoyed freelancing for the past few weeks, and it’s been amazing to see God’s faithfulness in this time. Despite leaving a good full-time job, I’ve been able to get by for the month of January, with jobs continuing to line up for February. God is good.
In a way, every day has become a “snow day” for me. I am able to set my own hours and do the work when I want. I can work from coffee shops, restaurants, parks, bookstores, libraries – anywhere with free Wi-Fi. It also means I no longer have the option of saying, “I’ve been too busy to blog.” Hopefully that means I’ll be able to post more often, which I will enjoy. Enjoy your snow day!
