Joining the ranks of the working again...

Today marked the official end to the four month 'sabbatical' for me. Its been a great four months off - I've really enjoyed every minute of it. During mid-Jan, I started looking at putting a structure together that would allow me to do some consulting work through. Today I started on what looks to be a four month contract - in an environment that I'm quite familiar with. In fact, it is the position that I occupied about 4 years ago - they need some help to sort a few things over the next couple of months, and I was ready and available to join the ranks of the working again. It was done on the basis that I could have the flexibility to spend one day per week on other opportunities, so I'm quite chuffed about that. It'll mean that I get to help out for four days of the week, and focus on building other relationships, and hopefully securing other contracts on the fifth day of the week.
How does it feel? Pretty good actually. Besides the traffic this morning (1 hour and 40 minutes to get to the office), it feels good to trade the golf clubs for the laptop between 9am and 5pm each day. Not too sure how long that feeling will last, but its pretty good at the moment :-)
