Work update

[chipotle]

I've signed a short-term contract with the company Tugrik is at for technical writing. This is more than I've made before on a weekly basis and is doing stuff that I haven't done before at this scale. While this leads to an aaah, I'm going to fall on my face feeling, that's a similar situation to the one at Linvatec and I didn't face-plant there. So I'm not too worried. And I can put more than half of my income away into savings; if the contract runs the full 12 weeks, I'll amply replenish things.

I'll have to start getting up at a more reasonable time again, but I think I can manage that.

Thanks, Tugrik, for mentioning me to your boss, and nudging him a few times when appropriate.

In thematically-related news, the catalog company in Walnut Creek "decided to pursue another candidate," as they say. So. I also received a call from someone looking for contract work on a food magazine's website, which I'd like to be able find some way to help with just because it sounds fascinating. But I don't know if that'll end up going anywhere.

Would be nice if they would actually call you back and tell you you didn't get the job, so you aren't sitting on your hands for two months. Manners are for the little people.

Hmm, you would make a perfect food & drink magazine writer. ('gryn)

Congrats on scoring contract work!
