Well the job wire has really been ringing today. Wasn't really expecting it, but apparently my name has been floating around with some of the vendors I worked with in the past. The one vendor I think wants to hire me, I don't think they can afford me
I know this may sound weird to some folks, but I ask for a sort of "signing" bonus, especially when dealing with small companies. That generally guarantees 2 things, if they start going under and checks start to bounce (seen it before), I'm sorta "paid" ahead and can walk away whole. In turn, if that small company decides to sell out, I can walk away whole if I don't want to go to the company that acquired. Both selling and companies going under has happened to me in the past - I don't work for free.
So far the companies that I've been talking to are cool with me working from my home office, which is really a relief. I mean, I haven't been out of my pajamas before noon in like 4 months - I don't want to change that LOL! My office is totally setup so I don't have to walk anywhere, so that would be a big stress reliever right there. I hate having to explain why I need to walk with a cane and no the "boot" doesn't come off, and Yes I can walk up stairs and no I can't stand for a long time - UGH. I just want to vape my .... off, do whatever needs to be done and watch a little TV while I'm doing that - am I asking for too much LOL!
