Messages From Beyond

Career questions are the order of the day. I enjoy the freelance life, and believe I can eventually make a good living doing a combo of my website work and the freelance consulting gig. Now, however money's thin, and while I love the freedom to do what I want, I do miss the nice, regular paychecks I was drawing as a cog in the employment wheel.

During a particularly dark moment a few months back, I saw a job posting and sent a resume off "just to see." Months later, I've had an interview, and I know I presented well. So the question is should I or shouldn't I (if the offer comes through).

So many threads are involved here, and it is a far more complex situation than paycheck vs. not.

So I did what any self-respecting confused person should do. I consulted the Tarot cards. It was a spur of the moments decision, based on being in the right place at the right time kind of situation.

The reading did not go well. I have so many neurons bouncing around in my little brain that I'm sure it was hard for her to pick up on just one energy strain, but pretty much nothing she said matched my reality. The "Death" card showed up, which as we all know means "Change" and not actual "Death" but still what change?

It is interesting though, what energies she did think she was getting from me. "There's a man in my life, I'm ignorning." God, would that were true.

Ah well, I'm sure the voices from beyond are trying guide me, and I'm just not paying enough attention. I know the decision I ultimately make will be the right one, I just wish it weren't so nerve wracking to get to the decision.
