Today, I shot myself in the foot, something fierce.<\/p>\n
For reasons I can’t really comprehend other than a strange sense of honor, I inadvertently dismissed myself from an opportunity for three to four weeks of a guaranteed paycheck.\u00a0 Maybe I got greedy, or maybe I am much more of a compassionate human being than I thought.\u00a0 But long story short is that I was offered a position that starts tomorrow, and instead of clicking my heels, and emphatically agreeing to it, I asked if I could put some feelers out at D-land, to make sure that I had finality on all of my current projects.<\/p>\n
I had zero intention of turning down the position, even with it’s questionable distance from my house.\u00a0 But apparently, my hesitation at agreeing to it caused the client who needed the work, to instead accept the first schlub who did agree to start tomorrow.\u00a0 So instead of starting a new assignment tomorrow, with the next three to four weeks accounted for, I’m going back to a place that I’m not too terribly fond of, with any day after tomorrow sporting a question mark.<\/p>\n
And for what?\u00a0 Doing the honorable thing?\u00a0 Being a nice guy?\u00a0 Because as far as I’m concerned, those two things haven’t done shit for me, in my time of need.<\/p>\n
This has not been a very good week, and I do look forward to its quick passing.<\/p>\n
