I always worked 40-50 hours a week, and am studying for my MCSE, so finding time for flamenco was difficult. But then the recession kicked in and I was put down to 32 hours a week, meaning I got Fridays off. Since then I have been playing much more guitar (and for some reason studying less) and I find that the more I play, the more I play. I loved my Friday guitar marathons... I now have some pretty heavy projects at work and have been given the opportunity to work as many hours as I need. To start off with I thought "great", as my bank balance was getting a bit worse for wear, but now, after the experience of a four day work week, I am starting to wonder what's really important. Less money and more guitar, or more money and less guitar? Fact is, I don't get any negative feelings about career-related stuff. I've been trying to get another job, and failed, and it bounces off me. But I get angsty if I miss a days guitar practice. I probably should have gone through this when I was 20, not 36, but that's life I suppose. I still dream of a lengthy flamenco pilgrimage in Spain - living cheaply and playing, absorbing, playing, absorbing...
