iamomHaving trouble thinking about how to progress my business. The trouble is that I can't conceive of going back to work. That's what it is, really. I've been on full-time parental leave courtesy of the Government of Canada since last June, and at the end of next week, I'll suddenly be considered ready to return to the workforce full-time. It's too jarring a transition to consider seriously at the moment, so I keep forgetting about it. That's probably a big mistake given the amount of our recent Visa bill. If only our expenses weren't so much that we couldn't live on B's salary alone, this wouldn't be such a problem. Granted, I do have 15 weeks of regular unemployment insurance that I can begin after the parental leave benefits run out, but I don't want to do this forever. I mean, I do, but I don't. I'd rather get my head around working again and just start it.
Apart from that though, there's just absolutely nothing Happening. And that's not even Happening either, really. I'm just quietly Here doing Nothing and watching Nothing Happening. It feels Great, if a feeling can be assigned to it.
Started watching an old tape I made of the Ken Burns Jazz documentary aired on PBS last year, and it made me feel really proud to be a jazz musician. Made me want to do that full-time instead, even though it's a crap gig in general and doesn't pay much. But at the moment, since it's not my primary source of income, I can largely do it tax-free, so I should definitely try and get some more gigs.
Yeesh, what a boring post. Why hasn't anyone mentioned the whole day of LJ downtime we had yesterday due to another denial of service attack that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bradfitz said he'd configured the system to prevent, and where the heck is vyoma these days? Is C still in town? Maybe that's why he's not online this week. At least i is posting some good Bushage for us to read. I heard an excerpt from a Bush thing yesterday in which he said "mistakened." Idiot.
Have you seen this man?
