I’ve got to admit, part of me wishes that I hadn’t left my great job at 2checkout, I really enjoyed all my coworkers, but the work that needed to be done in the next six months or so was not something that aligned with my skills interests (great, you can cook, can you farm?)

I’ve taken a well-deserved (jesus, I can’t use that expression without sounding like a real housewife of orange county) vacation. I’ve also just finished the “history of Tyler’s employment” tour. I miss all of my old-coworkers and bosses. I was told several times that people would gladly have me come back. In fact I realized that this was the first job I left for non geographical reasons.

That being said, the life of a full-time freelancer is scary. I’ve done some pretty cool projects, some of which are even featured on my portfolio. I’ve also taken on some work that I don’t necessarily feel the need to share with the general public. In fact, this post started as an odesk bitch-fest, but just go there if you want to do crappy work for $12/ hour. I have definitely learned from my experiences with every client I’ve worked with.

I guess it will take me a bit to get into the swing of things, I’ve got a Columbus Ruby Brigade meeting I’m looking forward to tomorrow.  Then a bunch of random job related meetings, and one with my new (not yet signed on the dotted line) partner.  I’ve got enough money to keep me running until the end of February, but I’ll keep you up to date with whats going on.

Until Columbus Coworking gets going, any cool wifi spots within a bike ride of the Short North would be greatly appreciated.  Feel free to comment or hit me on email/ im.
