I had a call with a recruiter today, and when I was done I mentioned it to my partner. They immediately asked why I took the call and what I was looking for. I was intrigued by the amount of base salary that they were offering and that didn't even phase my partner.
They just wanted to know, why I took the call. Was I actually thinking about getting a (shudder) job?
The truth is no, I was probably not going to pursue this job, I don't see myself as someone that would ever take another job, but there is something about the stability of a bi-weekly paycheck and someone else handling all the sales, administration, etc that comes with doing the work that I do now.
But on the flip side there is a lot of "risk" for me taking a job. What if I don't get along with my manager, or there is a shuffle within the company after a short period of time and I get a manager that I don't like. What if I don't get along with some of my co-workers, or the projects they give me are boring.
What if I ask for vacation and they deny it?
So, no, I won't be taking a job, and I will be reflecting a bit more about why I even took the call with the recruiter (which took 30mins out of my day). There is only so much time in a day, and I should be trimming all the things that don't spark joy so I can appreciate the things in life that do.
The idea of having to go into an office even only a few days a week is not something that sparks joy.
No more loafing for #noloafing

Its time for me to stop loafing and get involved. Plan to see a lot more of me on this platform and the other front ends.
