Countdowns
It seems like years and years since I left New York City for this place. The first month or so crawled by at a glacial pace, the middle month flew away without me really noticing, and now the final month is almost over and I find myself wondering if it will ever be through. 15 days from now I'll be back in the loving embrace of NYC, and I can't wait.
Today I sent off three resumes and letters via email for jobs that I had seen listed in various places, I updated my resume and I am redesigning my printed portfolio to reflect the shows that I designed while I was here, dusting off my social graces and trying to get back into the mindset of a freelancer constantly on the prowl for the next meal. It's a good feeling frankly, something that I've missed without really realizing it. I have already fielded an offer or two from places that I worked at last year, one that I turned down, one that I delayed until I get back to the city to meet with the hiring committee. It also felt good to be able to turn work down, something that I didn't do at all last year because the prospect of a lean month scared me to death, but so far that doesn't look like a problem this year. Let's all cross our fingers and hope!
