Missed.

Two weeks ago, I sat around waiting to take on a job that I thought would be swift and painless.
As a result, I missed out on an opportunity that I will have to wait for months to get again.
And this 'swift and painless' job is still being done, two weeks later.
Not for joy, not even for money, for it pays almost nothing.

Lesson learnt. I will never be contented to fixate on ricebowl jobs again.
