Wanted...golden parachute to jump into volcano to appease the skygods of blue skies :-|

[mdrejhon 8]

Fingers crossed.
Yes, recession finally hitting me -- almost.

My work situation is precarious right now.
Normally self employed, doing 6 months contracts.
But due to the recession, I'm operating off filler 2-to-4-week contracts at the moment. Mobile programming contracts, BlackBerry and Windows Mobile stuff, is what I do.

I just got a possible good 2-week contract that ends perfectly right before Perris, and more than pays for a single 50-skydive trip without affecting my savings (for rent/food/cost-of-living) that I need to weather out recesion downtime. I'm just waiting for confirmation tomorrow if I got it or not!

If I got it -- Perris, baby!
If I lose it -- the guillotine falls and I lose this opportunity, I get to cancel Perris because I got to preserve ability to pay food and rent for the next while, while I keep looking for other contracts.

Is there a special good-luck dance I need to do?
And what's the going rates for golden knights these days -- maybe I can get one to jump into a volcano to appease the skygods of the blue skies?

I'm crossing my fingers.
