My place of employment shuts down on Sunday. Instead of being sad about my lack of employment, I'm taking this as an opportunity to step up my unconventional lifestyle (as I do believe I have mentioned).
I do intend to look for a "day job," of course. But I also plan on trying some of the tips and tricks from over at the Art of Non-Conformity. A couple micro businesses, keeping up with some of my more interesting hobbies to occupy my time, and hopefully lots of writing.
I'm considering setting up an ebay shop to not only make a couple bucks but to also continue the decluttering of my room. I have so much stuff I don't know what to do with it, and although the clutter has definitely gotten smaller over the years, I still have several knooks and crannies full of unknown and/or useless items.
Some time hopefully in the near future I hope to see Lost Marbles Publishing brought to life. A couple friends and I joined forces to unleash spectacular children's stories (illustrated by yours truly) to the unsuspecting masses. We have a couple stories finished, complete with illustrations, and its pretty much ready to go.
There is also a third option I have been considering. One that I have not put a lot of thought into yet, but something I think I should think more seriously about. I might try to expand on my artistic skills and try and do something more professional with my commissions. You know, actually put together a portfolio and all that schmancy stuff. I'm not looking to make millions, but every little bit helps. :)
I see this loss of my job as a great challenge.
Understandably my coworkers are stressed and upset. I'm in a more comfortable position that gives me a bit more wiggle room, and perhaps that's why I'm not so stressed about it. Heck, I'm downright excited. It's the excuse I was looking for to try and do something more creative with my life.
But keep this in mind:
Whether you believe in fate or not, events like this can be taken as a sign to change.
Do not believe in a world based on merit, because in the end, none of us truly get what we deserve.
