I met with company #3 today, and they offered me a job. I was not expecting that, and I don’t really know what to think about it either. I am, of course, flattered, but I’m not entirely sure that this is what God had in mind for me when he released me from company #1. I’ll have to pray a lot about this. I don’t want to do the wrong thing. I also like the self-employed life of a contractor, and the possibility of doing something completely unrelated to semiconductors to earn an income. Working for them would feel not unlike that of a contract worker, but at the same time, they would “own” me. I would sense a loss of freedom. I’m also not entirely sure I want to commit the next 20 years of my life to semiconductors either. Well, whether or not I actually join, I have every intention of investing in their company (financially as an “Angel Investor” and through pro bono work) – I believe in them that much. If they succeed, then so will I financially. I’m taking a risk that they’ll be a better investment than the stock market.
Yeah, Hank called today. My friend Olga will be coming here at the end of May. Now I have to arrange things so she has a happy and productive time while she’s here. I’m going to delegate a lot in these arrangements – I have too much on my plate right now.
Having kids over last night turned out great: we watched two really funny movies; staying up until 11:30 in the process. They were so excited about their river park excursion today that they were up with me at 6:30 this morning. They should sleep well tonight.
Day 103 mood: Actually sort of melancholy.
