Several years later, I am still contracting on my own, mostly assorted testing work, but occasionally QA process stuff. The VP at the old job said that I was feeling "confined". I guess that is true. I still like the company, but too many other people thought they could decide important things for me - like what professional development is important. One of the factors in deciding to contract again was being able to use before tax dollars for the conferences and workshops I feel are important for me - like AYE and PSL.

I continue to think about consulting rather than contracting. I am trying to put enough money aside that it is a real option. The number of interesting workshops and conferences makes that hard to do. The other thing that makes it difficult is that I really like to test. Not all of us actually want to be business consultants.

Some things don't change. In my feedback the first year, I offered to do a horoscope for any host or participant who wanted to send me date, time & location of birth, full name at birth (and Myers-Briggs type if available). Every year a few of you take me up on it. The offer stands, since I do these because it is fun. Home e-mail is sheinze_at_telusplanet_._net. Take out the _'s. The horoscopes come slowly sometimes. Nonetheless, I will do them eventually. I really enjoy doing them. SherryHeinze 2006.09.15

I don't know if you received your horoscope or not. I do know I sent it. I just sent it again, so let me know if you don't get it. SherryHeinze 2007.09.17
