Fun learning

The positive side of not having a Full-time job:
I’ve complained up and down on how horrible it is to not actually have a full-time job. You know, the thing that most people do from 9am-5pm EST? I’ve heard of crazy people working other hours than that but there is no need for such a discussion by me.
Today was however different from the many other times of jobless hatetred. I got to work at an actual job for a couple hours but saw how nice it really has been without one. I’ve learned so much more about web development (whether any of you have noticed or not) and I am finding more time to just enjoy the positive things in life.
Yup - there are still those bad parts of not having an actual job but this isn’t the time to talk about them. I’m just in a good mood and this week, so far, hasn’t let me down. I even pulled together some potential clients and will be talking to them through out the week :-)
One of the biggest things I’ve loved about not having an actual job is the time to learn. I’ve pumped enough CSS into my brain to actually create a “tableless” site. Not only that but I’ve learned more than enough about web standards and starting to become alittle more comfortable with XHTML.
In the next couple weeks I’m really wanting to explore PHP. It always happens though - I get really interested in learning it but for some reason i’ll get interested in something else. I love PHP and what it has to offer and while playing around freshmeat.net/ for some time now I think it’s time to dust of the old PHP book.
So i’ve got a pretty full plate on my hands but what are you working on?

dude.. not having a job 9-5 is the shizzle!! I still wake up at 8 am, but i can go back to bed if i want. Or go snowboarding. hehe. yea.. i’m dedicating my life to permanent freelance work.
Granted maybe someday i’ll have to pick up the ol’ 9-5 but i doubt i’ll ever entrap myself in that lifestyle.
Schaap .. just work on your freelance **** man! You should be able to pull off plenty of work.
