    I've been wondering lately if I really want to carry on with running a business. To maintain and build it I would need to take people on and at the moment I don't really think that expansion is really where my heart lies. Its a whole different kettle of fish and actually requires more input and management, not less.

    So I was talking to one client (Publisher1), about another client (Publisher2), and I mentioned I was thinking of approaching Publisher2 with the idea that I come and work for them in-house. Publisher1 immediately said "We'd offer you something in-house if you wanted to" and I really wanted to just say "GREAT! LETS FUCKING DO THAT SHIT BABY, RIGHT HERE".

    Its really odd, but all the intangible benefits of being my own man feel diminished now I have a family. Suddenly a regular 9-to-6 with a salary every month and less need to lie awake churning over difficult situations in my mind has tremendous appeal.

    So I guess I'm saying... anyone out there looking, ahem, well, I am System 7 compliant, I have my own copy of Suitcase2 and DiskDoubler, and I know Quark 3.0 like the back of my hand.

    Back of my hand I tell you!
