I spent much of the day being “sad.” After spending the weekend praying about this job offer, God has made it clear to me that I should not, at this time, take the job. On some level, it’s scary because this means the potential loss of a lot of money, but I need to trust God. He has the plan for my life.
While being “sad,” I also spent nine hours today really analyzing my portfolio so I could sell off a huge chunk of stock… so I could invest in company #3. This turned out to be a good exercise because, as luck would have it, I suddenly have a lot of stocks that really need to go – the market is changing (down) – and the combined total of those stocks screaming “sell” just happened to be the right amount.
Unfortunately, I also spent around two hours today doing email. A lot of coordination type stuff came up and it required my attention. The month of May is going to be insanely busy for me. I have a pastor visit and a men’s retreat in the first half of the month, and then it would appear that I will be working three contracts simultaneously just about the time Olga shows up for a visit. I had scheduled the contracts serially, but then schedules changed.
I will be really, really ready for my vacation in July… except that company #3 wants me to work for them while I’m away (since my vacation falls right in the center of their chip development). I might do some days, especially rainy days, but I can’t see myself doing an extensive amount of work. Vacation time is meant to be spent with family.
Day 106 mood: Sad.
