Well – the day gig I picked up back in September didn’t pan out. I had some hope that it would settle into a steady groove – since it was both a familiar workplace and the pay was decent. However, things went awry fairly quickly as the contracting agency I was working with seemed to be operating just outside the bounds of “good faith”. Couple that with a workplace that was as dysfunctional as when I left it back in early 2007 and it made for an untenable mix. Aside from the workplace turmoil I was hit on my Burgman while commuting to work one day. Fortunately I suffered no permanent injury, but the bike was a total loss.
So now I’m back to free-lancing on audio and music gigs while also keeping my eye on the IT contract circuit. A few software QA opportunities have popped up, and I’m going through a cycle of refreshing my resume on the most-trafficked job search sites.
I’m also working on a music project that I’ve had in mind for several months, and am now committed to some sonic exploration in order to find the right “sound” or “voice” for the project. As I get little semi-finished snippets that I like, I’ll post them on my music blog under the heading “Delayed Gratification“, which is a play on words referring to digital delays and other sonic processing used prominently in dance tracks and whatnot. So now it’s back to serious multi-tasking – continuing on the creative path while keeping an eye on the day job circuit.
