This Is The Life

You know, I'm really enjoying this. 18 months ago I was just about to be laid off from my second salaried job in five months. It sucked. Now I'm freelancing full time.

Right now I'm sitting in bed, pillows behind me, with my beloved iBook, with my timesheet program silently calculating (by the second) the hourly rate I'm billing my client for doing perl/database development work on their intranet. I set my own hours, work when I want. I'm blogging using Kung-Log, listening to a really great tune:

Touching Cloth
At The End Of The Day
Dervish

(which I was able to put in here just by pressing a button), and controlling it using pthitunesnotifier (find it on versiontracker, I don't feel like finding the link), which lets me control iTunes without using any desktop space.. I'm on iChat with Damon, helping him install something, all while I'm working on this project.

Life is good. I guess I need a wishlist to make it even better. What's a more comfy work environment than sitting on my bed? I think I need an easy chair. Something where I can lean back in a comfy chair but also work, and have freedom of arm movement. Any ideas? Posted by Curt at February 19, 2003 10:37 PM
