Being a freelancer is a challenge, and, for the most part, I don’t deal with that a whole lot. I have tenured positions in three groups, for which I am quite thankful. But, alas, there was a job I was hoping for. Today I found out someone else was hired.

Since I’ve worked for the contractor before I of course go through all the typical worries. Did I annoy the contractor? Did I not play well enough last time? Will I ever be hired again or is this the end for me?

Fun life, eh?

But, like I said, I have other jobs, and I’m extremely grateful for them. They are great to have, and I can’t complain. Some of my fellow oboists are freelance only folk. Now that is a rough life.

So life goes on.

But I wanted to whine just moment. And now I’m done. 🙂
