TC Media Studio closing

[Drunk Monk]

Thanks. There's a lot of letting go of KFTC. The job has become such a part of me. It's like the yeti leaving the fencing world. There's a part of me that can leave - tired of all the politrix and shenanigans. But there's so many friends, and I have such noteriety in that circle. 

I'll still practice Kung Fu, maybe even get back into teaching a bit - I need to sort that with the Academy. I don't pay tuition there because I give them ad trade and lots of favors. I talked to Ted's wife - they have another essay I did to publish and I pushed them to do it by Monday, because the cease of publication will be Tuesday. They're actually super busy with work. They had originally planned a vacation for next week, to go on a trip to celebrate Ted's birthday, but that's not happening. They don't know about KFTC yet. Only you and my immediate family know. Tuesday's going to be really tough, dealing with the community reaction. I imagine my phone & social media will blow up.

Coincidentally, TCEC was scheduled for that weekend, May 16-17. There's a chance TC may still try to hold that again next year. We have all the trophies and medals. If so, they've offered to bring me back freelance. But it's too early to tell.

More so was the freedom I enjoyed at TC, something I earned by delivering there so consistently. My schedule was flexible. They allowed me to telecommute, first to avoid hwy17 so much, and then to caretake for my mom. I could take time off for my festivals and adventures and get comp time from work weekends. If I go back to a 9-5, that will be hard.
