What do you do?
I’ve heard that question a lot lately and I’m still becoming comfortable with the answer.
I work from home.
Isn’t that type of work reserved for traveling salesmen? Highly sought after consultants? Website designers? Stay-at-home moms or dads, like Joel on Parenthood?
I don’t fit into those categories at all, and yet, here I am sitting at my computer, working on a movie trailer and coming up with ideas on how to market my book.
It’s pretty cool knowing everything that happens each day is very much a direct result of being laid off back in March. If I were still at that job I most likely wouldn’t have pursued the book thing, I wouldn’t be dog sitting, I might still be editing the trailer, but I for sure wouldn’t have been able to go to Missouri with my brother and nephew (more here and here), or go on a trip here with 2 of my nieces, or been thinking about all the possibilities ahead of me! Of course, failing is also a possibility. Just ask my fantasy football team. I have one win and six losses. It sickens me.
I have Julio Jones, how am I losing every game?
I don’t mean to get off topic, but come on, man! When I lose to a team named “I’m Josh Gwoban” who had about 35 players on bye-week, there’s a problem. Ok, ok, I’m over it. There’s always next year.
The journey to a new and interesting future continues, thanks for reading!

Getting laid off has definitely been one of the best things that has ever happened to me. Glad you’re enjoying this new season as well!
Thanks, and thanks for the comment!
