Another day, another job interview/offer; I thought this job search thing was supposed to be difficult! Turns out, playing hard to get works very well, especially when friends are working on your behalf! I have some awesome friends! At the same time… God, what are you doing to me? I thought I was supposed to take the year off, travel some, and perhaps change career fields! I now have a start-up company that wants me. They’d want me to work as a “consultant,” and then they’d like to bring me on board with a percentage of ownership stock should I want to go that direction. Since they are in start-up mode, they can’t pay me now, but I could wind up as a part-owner later. That’s just crazy! To me, this is another ideal proposition.
Oh, and about my comments from yesterday’s post about the Mercedes loaner: Yes, it’s still a “sterile” car, but I could get used to such luxury. It’s very smooth, quiet, comfortable, and it comes packed full of useful features. Driving around in this car all day put me in a very “Zen” mood. Had I driven my yellow car, my demeanor would have been much different. My little yellow car is more fun, but I get more aggressive when I drive it and when people look at my car, which they inevitably do due to its color and style, I get either annoyed or I get prideful. It’s a brash car that makes me brash and obnoxious. No one notices a white Mercedes – not around here anyways. It is a car that makes one humble and grateful.
Day 32 mood: Humble and grateful
