Please, please don't take this as boasting. What I'm about to write is merely an observation and to be honest sort of for posterity....

I truly think I'm living in Bizarro World. My phone has been ringing off the hook with consulting opportunities. I actually turned something down the other day. That's not saying much since it was a recruiting gig but when was the last time I got to turn something down because I have too much going on??? When am I not whining and moaning about there being no opportunities? When am I not crying about contracts ending or being scaled back (ie. several weeks ago)??

Now don't go and get the idea that I'm rolling in the dough or anything. But I'm rolling in potential clients and I keep hearing things like "so-and-so said you're great!" and "you sound like a really capable individual, can I give you a referral?" TOTALLY Bizarro. I'm not used to praise like this that isn't followed by "...but we're going to have to fire you."

I'm afraid to breathe too deeply or pinch myself lest I wake up from the dream of prosperity. If I can complete enough of these projects and impress enough people and build up a big enough portfolio I might actually become successful. Or I can regain consciousness in my jelly filled pod and realize the matrix is just a lie. In the meantime, I gonna ride this good thing while it lasts.

Cross your fingers for me. And your toes. And your eyes just to be sure.
