This business is really weird

All week I've been scratching and hunting, trying to scare up a gig. Applied for a few things, sent a bunch of emails, got a bunch of crickets for my efforts. The only bright spot was a strong likelihood that I would be put on a project starting Oct. 1. Of course, two weeks of no job/paycheck before that meant it was a kind of dim bright spot.

Just got placed on a project starting tomorrow. Call out of the blue, not as a result of anything I had done all week. No indication it was coming, just BOOM goes the dynamite, I'm employed again. Seriously, this business is not for people with weak hearts.
