wibbling about Azkatraz
Last summer I quit my job to start my own business. I've since had an amazing time learning a ton of stuff about myself, including the fact that I don't want to be in the training industry anymore, and that I'd rather find a decently paid full-time job, while spending my energy and focus on activism and writing.
What does all this have to do with Azkatraz? I had accepted that by not working full-time I wouldn't be able to afford the con. It will cost just under $2000.00 for me, and even though I really want to go, I haven't been thinking about it. About a week ago though, a few things changed.
I got a tax refund that would cover the trip. People I know still need roommates. I'm looking for a full-time job, not just consulting for a few hours a week. My current consulting gig will last indefinitely and covers my bills but not much else. My tax refund money won't need to go toward supporting bills, etc.
Hmmm...laid out like that, I don't know why I've been so hesitant to make the decision to go. My DH is very supportive of me going. I think I just felt that it would be irresponsible of me to go.
