While I have lots of projects cooking, they either break even (like MovieCrypt) or don’t make a lot (like Kindling Moon). So, to keep things running like rent, utilities, and the all-important health insurance, a “day job” with someone is always good.

Well, my last one went bye-bye (literally got up and left), but they paid me for two months and made sure I (and all the other employees) were ready to go out into the workforce and be productive. I picked a few jobs I thought I’d like, pursued them relentlessly, and ended up being called by two of them for almost identical offer, so I got to pick and choose from among them.

Officially, that makes today a bit weird. Technically, I haven’t worked for 61 days but I’ve been paid to look for a job and dedicate a little extra love to my wife and hobbies. Tomorrow I start working my new day job, which means today is the only day between these two jobs that I officially will not earn a dime. One single solitary day of unemployment; couldn’t have planned it any better if I had done so on purpose.
