18 Apr 2005 SimpleImg to reflect my mood.
This week's
SimpleImg word is Worried, and that's kinda how I'm feeling right about now. The main cause for my worries is work. I don't really feel very secure in my job now. Sales have been bad over the winter period, which means things have been a bit tight money wise. This has partly left me thinking that my time at my workplace may be shorter than I'd like it to be. This wouldn't be so bad if I had a "Just in case" stash of money just in case. Trouble is I've spent it all on maintaining my car for a year and I haven't been putting aside a little of my pay... Oh well, the taxman owes me some money and he better pay if he knows what's good for him.
The other thing about my job is I'm starting to get bored with it. I've completed the big project web site for the company I work with. It's live. I want to move onto another big web project that's unrelated to the last one. But now I'm pretty much stuck maintaining the thing. And maintenance is
boring. That's partly why I'm so late updating all my websites. I want something new, challenging, and exciting. I need to be thrown in the deep end again with something and be forced to learn something new or die otherwise (or something like that). Dammit, that's how I became the competent web programmer you see before you.
Still all these things are not a major worry. I still sleep quite comfortably at night. I just wanted to share and show how I feel that's all.

Well, that's simple enought. Why don't you dig up the cash to buy another domain and start selling layouts and stuff. Taking requests and charging if you like.
Once I finish teaching myself some more code, that's what I intend to do.
How about that idea? :3

It's not a bad idea. Not too sure about selling templates mainly cos I'm not sure who would want to buy templates. But I would like to become a freelance Web Developer. Now to me that would be the good life. Always working on something new, only working hard for a number of months then getting a number of months holiday. That's the lilfe for me, despite its hardship.
