New job title 'handyman'

April 22, 2009 · Posted in Freelance, Personal 

Over the last few months it’s become apparent that I enjoy doing a wide variety of different things.  This is not new news to me, it’s just that I’ve come to the conclusion that this is what I should be doing – a bit of everything -.

Variety is the spice of life, or so I’ve been told.  After building the fencing with my neighbour, the spring weather finally arriving, continuing to develop my ecommerce shop Bytemart, my decision to start a new hobby of 12th scale radio control car racing, attending and speaking at another conference (Barcamp Bournemouth) and the pending bathroom replacement I reckon there’s much more value in doing these things alongside my ‘specialty’ of Freelance Website Designer.

I spend most of my days building websites and consulting on different aspects of the internet for my clients and occasionally contracting as a Frontend Web Developer.  I am rather privileged to find myself in this situation of being able to please myself by adding value to my life on a daily basis.  As an example, I love to cook.  This stimulates my creativity and gives me pleasure not only in the consumption but on the thought that I’ve been able to please others too.

To this end I’ve decided to change my job title to ‘handyman’ I feel that it will allow me to pick and choose what I do each and every day, maybe it will be a talking point when I hand out my business cards to perspective cilents.  The idea being that I’m willing to take on a challenge of any type.  So, if you need a creative handyman then I’m available for hire!  Feel free to get in contact if you’d like a helping hand with your current challenge.
