I guess this would be a more relevant thread around December but whatever. How has 2014 been to you thus far?

Mine was good. Graduated High School and about to start college now.

Jan-May was gay, been outstanding since May.

Eh, no worse then last year. Not much better, but still okay. Actually, I might say it's been much better since for most of this year I've been able to sleep regularly.

BC · August 03, 2014, 02:58:08 PM

Absolutely, and it's about to get a whole lot better

My car, Italy trip (first trip to Europe), the love of my life, good friends, the world picked up for me big time in the last two years. And many more surprises are coming, one very soon

RadicalClass32 · August 03, 2014, 02:59:07 PM

Lol.

Spoiler

Worst year of my life.

Shit. Things not going too well?

No. I need to have surgery on my nose. Needed it since December, but I have no insurance so I have to suffer through the issues until October.

Not really, but the summer has been great.

Sandtrap · August 03, 2014, 04:47:51 PM

I can't say that it's been smooth sailing. This year is like walking on a tight rope. But so far I've managed to stay upright for things. It's sure as hell no picnic, but I'm not complaining. Things could always be worse.

ಠ_ಠ · August 03, 2014, 04:49:20 PM

One of the worst years of my life so far.
I'm not even kidding.

Crouton · August 03, 2014, 04:49:22 PM

Seriously, the contract I'm on is looking like it's going to turn into a 100k a year salary + bonuses up to 20% per quarter within the year, and until then I'm making ~75% of that in weekly pay as a 1099. I was on a 7-month unemployed slump before this.

So you don't work for a company at all? You're totally freelance?

Right now yeah, and I'm clearing ~1k a week

Garem · August 03, 2014, 04:53:26 PM

I got a positive drug test and didn't get fired, so it hasn't been too bad. Probably won't get my advancement at the end of the year, though.

Nice. It must be awesome to work for yourself.

Especially when it's all from the comfort of my house, 90% of it anyway. I have no complaints right now.

You ever thought of expanding your operations? Like starting your own business?

No point in incurring the extra cost/pita when 1099 suits all my needs. The business type you are referring is the same as the company who is currently my primary client, which is also the company that will be putting me on full-time this year at the 100k base salary + bonus structure. It might be useful if I wanted to expand beyond my own work and add contractors to my offerings, but I'm good with the direction I'm going atm.
