Just quit Rick! Come live with me and I will show you the world. I will take you to tallest mountains and the bottom of the sea. We will make love on the beach (you're the catcher) and drink malt liquor out of each others beer hats at baseball games while we watch the Twins lose yet another. We will cheer together as one while we shop for interesting novelties at Spencer's and never tell anyone. We will oil each other down and go to Starbucks with our laptops and play Quake against each other as we make a stand against the oppressive coffee market. Naming our characters after employees and crushing them to death in front of them while we dream of tree trimming in a free society. Oh Rick! What fun we could have! What a life we could make!
Actually never mind. I don’t date people without jobs. : )

mrdobolina,
stop bitchin' and keep your job. There is no magic formula to what you are looking for. You are just plain spoiled. If you quit your job you will have to actually look for work and definitely looooose money until you find two or three clients that will pay the bills. I just can't understand you man, people are killing for full time job today and you are quitting?! wtf? Going 100% freelance is completely different league.

KRTS, that reponse made me feel funny.
Boz, I know, but have you ever fucking hated your job?

Sounds like your having a shitty week at work. Just trying to make you smile you big lug.
Take Wager out this weekend and get Crazy-Phil to cheer up your bad week. I know I could use a little Crazy-Phil right now...

Yes I did a long time ago in different times, and I know how you might feel. But listen, it's not a smart thing to make drastic changes today with all these economy issues, when very few companies actually invest money in marketing. It's like this, if you get a good salary at your work now, stick with it until everything picks up again. The point that I'm trying to make here man is that when you depend on yourself it becomes very stressful, because you're not only thinking to finish projects on time, you have to run around and find new projects all the time and judging by your posts above I can tell you that you will have trouble adopting to this new lifestyle. I will be honest with you man. I believe that most of the people here that work 100% freelance, go to bed every night (as I do) thinking about the next day and if they'll be able to get another project lined up. It's just the way it is. I've been on my own for the last 5 years and I know what I'm talking about. Of course you might get lucky and land a good deal from time to time but that's nothing compared to a full time job and salary that comes with it. You can buy a car without worries, buy a house or whatever. But ultimately it's your choice.

I remember in one of those curb dog videos, when they are skating/riding in the tenderloin in SF and they skate past all those asian hookers. HAHAHA
- mrdobolina0
yeah, most of the agencies here are not looking for anyone. Im looking for free money anyway. a new job is only a quick fix :)
- Tyrone0
