Silver Lining

Filed under: Work - Ric @ 11:03 am

Well it only took about two business days since my last day with Gigantic Concrete, but I’m back in the saddle again. I am working with a new company, let’s call them Silver Lining, and it’s my job to develop their professional services/contracting arm.

…right now it’s fun…

The possibility of this job has been just over the horizon for the last year or so. Nothing ever came of it though because I felt I needed a full time paid gig etc. etc. Well now that I’ve taken the leap of faith and cut the corporate ties, possibilities presented themselves, and I decided to dive in.

Unlike my previous positions, this one is based solely on the work I do. There is no salary, there is just “revenue”. Best of all, I have been given pretty much free reign to make or break it on my own. I work from home or a client site, I pretty much dictate my own hours, and the major decisions are mine to make.

On the flip side, if things screw up, it’s completely my fault, and lack of revenue will mean things might get very tight. There now that I’ve gotten that pessimism out of my system, it’s on to brighter things.

This may be good, this may be bad, but right now it’s fun.
