MrAnnoyanceToYou's Journal: Do Yoga and Unemployment Mix?

So, I'm losing my temp contract. They extended it to 9 months, and then said, "Hey, uhm.... Yeah, we really want someone who will work here forever. Can you do that for us? Thanks." I said no thank you and now I'm a bit.... what's the word. Uneasy about my current prospects for employment. I'm a VBA coder mainly at my current job but I've been learning Javascript at home for the last week in the hopes that I can build myself a really neat looking resume...

I hate the computer industry though, because everyone considers you a peon until you're about twenty years into it, in my experience. Guess that's corporate life.

*Ponder* I was once told that I didn't understand what I had, during the .com years. Never has it been more apparent than during the last few weeks when I have found that maybe it IS possible to enjoy coding. Once I kicked the addiction to SWG I found that I could just look at the best parts of coding as the best parts of video gaming, and that might end up being what keeps me in the industry.

What I'm thinking about doing is learning enough Linux / PHP to put together a Wiki and a Slash with the current resume format I am trying to put together to make myself a demo app.... I have uhm...... Three weeks. Yeah.

Realism isn't my strong suit, apparently.
