Unexpected Jitters

Tomorrow is the LAST day! Wow this has been a really long month, hasn’t it?

Ok – maybe not for you. For me, it has been dragging along painfully slow.

As if to punctuate the event – I obtained a pretty large contract today that I’m excited about. It’s a local company that I’ll be doing their logo design for, followed by the full range of PR publishing materials – - biz cards, brochures, letterhead, envelopes, fliers, etc. Everything BUT a web site, yet. I always try to explain the good business sense that having a web site has – - but these guys aren’t quite ready yet. They’ll see where they’re at in about 6 months, or so, and make their decision at that point.

The desktop publishing and print design is really a nice departure for me – so I always enjoy doing it. I think this contract what just the push I needed to get rid of my nervous jitters about stricking out on my own. My mother says, “It’s a sign”. It may well be. As much as I have been looking forward to this — when I met with my Payroll Admin. from work today and she was talking to me about the payroll adjustments that would be happening – - well…I would be a liar if I said I didn’t get a little rock in my stomach over the whole ordeal.

I’ve always been one to ‘What if’ myself into oblivion. Thankfully, however – being an RN brings me a bit more job security than most. I can always find work, if needed. Unless that long-standing national nursing shortage comes to a screeching halt.

I feel like a nervous bride having last minute doubts. The unexpected jitters are something I didn’t anticipate, however, understandable, I think, under the circumstances.

*deep breath* Here I go!
