New Job

It's official. I now labor for http://advomatic.com I'll be soliciting my brain to them part time for the next ten days, off for a week to wrap up some stuff for a New Georges show, then back full time.

Advomatic does websites for, "Progressive Advocacy, Grassroots Movements, and Really Cool Causes"

It's times like this when I'm jolted back to the realization that my experience base is vastly different from most. I'm just a little terrified to get a steady job. You have to understand that I value my freedom over everything else, and I haven't had a job where I truly answered to someone above me since I was 19. Thats about 8 years.

That factoid goes hand in hand with the fact that I haven't had health insurance since I was 21 and that is about to change as well. It also doesn't hurt that they're gonna practically double my income.

All in all this should actually free me up to do a lot of those things that I've been saying I would do for so long. It's a 'virtual office'; meaning that we all check into the same chatroom every day and it matters very little if I work from 9-5 or 6am-midnight - as long as I put in my 40 hours a week.

I also have the luxury of being able to work from anywhere. This gives rise to all sorts of thought about traveling and putting down roots for 2-3 months at a time. Ramblin'; as it were.

All in all, I think this is going to be a great move.
