For a little while, it came down to I needed a job and that was that. But then after a couple of gigs where I wasn't very happy, I decided I needed to be more selective. It was hard to be selective, I'm not gonna lie, only because there is always that fear in the back of your head that you will never get hired again and you will have to live in a van down by the river and eat government cheese - wait, i do that already. But anyway, the long and short of it is, because I waited to find a job that i was really happy with and didn't just take a job because it paid me, i am very happy now. I ended up being unemployed for about 2 months. I chose to look at it as vacation time - because really, when do we get a vacation unless we aren't working?
