I have a great job. I bring home a good salary. I have benefits that are second to none. I get along with co-workers well enough. I'm fortunate. But I don't love what I do. It isn't satisfying at all. I play music and have for years but I can't count on that to provide the lifestyle that I prefer. It is more of a supplement to my income. I've thought for years about going out on my own and starting a business. I have some great ideas but I've thought that I would start up with a turnkey...low overhead, might be able to test the waters a bit. My girlfriend owns a turnkey and she does pretty well. Anyway, I'm terrified about striking out on my own. But I think I might have just gotten another reason to do it. I just got an award from the agency I work for. It was a certificate for some work that I did back in November. It was actually a pretty big deal; what I was involved in. Anyway, they spelled my name wrong on the certificate. It shouldn't bother me and in all honesty; it really doesn't. But at the same time, I feel like if it were as important as they say; they at least would have spelled my name right. Also, this proves to me that I really am just another number. I knew that I was. But still...yanno?
Anyway, that's my day. I'm glad these people aren't in charge of doing my tattoos. Imagine...spelling "mom" with two O's!
