Tired

I've had it with crap clients. In fact I had had it with them back on December 10th, 2001 and didn't bail then because of $6/lb. organic asparagus. Well, that's not a problem now. Mr. "Watch Hawker" has closed his online store. He also owes me over $500. Funny coincidence that. His buddy that I took on as a client despite not really wanting to take on any new clients owes me nearly $600 and also can kiss off - I've already removed the work he hasn't paid for from his website and told him if he wants it back he can pay for it. The remaining stores I host don't collectively bring in enough to cover the price of the SSL certificate, so when that expires they can get stuffed. I am officially closing my doors. I've downloaded the appropriate forms to cancel my business number and will be filling those in tonight.

After a year and a half here it's pretty clear that I'm going to stick with this job. I've got my expenses in line well enough that my salary pays my bills. My day job is enough work. When I get home I want to do something else, like, say, draw or paint. As crappy a job as it was the one thing I really liked about my time at the bank was my clients were non-existant (thus the need to take the crap job) and at the end of the day I was free to do what I wanted.
