Limbo

It’s a strange place to be in. From listening to the good Dr L’s adventures with the world of recruiters it would seem to be the case that most of the .NET coding jobs out there are either a) boring as hell or b) unable to match our current salaries unless I fancy selling my soul to a hedge fund. This has given me the idea of either making the leap and consider becoming a contractor or try to take one of the crazy  (and recently, not so crazy) ideas I have and turn it into a business.

Both would be a big change from how I’ve been earning my crust but i’m more and more coming round to the idea that having a boss is one of the main causes of any unhappiness I experience. Being fully in control of my own destiny is something I very much want.

I look at other people I know making a go of it and realise that there’s no real reason not to try except inertia, and that’s a piss poor reason. I’ve been here nearly five years now- much too long. I need a kick up the pants.

Feeling a bit antsy. It’s that time of year when I make big changes.
