So, I was laid off from my full time job in May. It has been a huge pain in the butt. Partially, because the closest place that I can find work is over 3 hours away and me and my fiance are down to one car. Also, because my old job keeps coming back to me to work for them. The catch is, I would now get no benefits, my pay would be limited to whatever is in a grant, but I'd still be expected to do the same work.
Doesn't sound super great, does it?
Since I was forced into early retirement, I've been crazy creative. Sculpting, painting, drawing, doing some carpentry; I'm even getting back on the stage.
So, why am I considering going back? I'm happy. Very happy. But scared and a bit overwhelmed.
I worry that I'm not going to be good enough to support myself with my artwork. This job presents a definite, but finite paycheck.
Do I take the sure thing and hope that they once again see my worth to give me my job back, or do I tell them to go to hell and sell all the art?
Help me universe.
