Suddenly busy

Well, two larger projects that I have been working on for a while finally came in -- all in the past week.

So it looks like the doors will stay open for a while longer.

I finally feel like this is my job -- working for myself out of my home office. It's been 1⅓ years since I started, and until recently it felt like all I was doing was "side-work." The other day I was driving somewhere and was chatting with my dad -- which, it seems, is what I do when I have to go somewhere for a meeting during the day -- and it hit me that I was doing my job. I was meeting with clients to help determine what they needed to have done, in preparation for getting the job and programming it.

It feels reassuring to know that I am doing my job, not just a collection of side-work. I don't know if that makes any sense or not, but that's the best I can explain it.
