Headcount, or No?

Two early conference calls this morning - Google Voice wouldn't dial the number, Skype would.  Some confusion about which headset is which.  I really need to organize the cables around this desk. 

After I was laid off and started to emerge from the shock of it, I began to sense that this could be an opportunity to expand my horizons and develop my own consulting business.  A headcount opportunity, while attractive, would put my own business ambitions and interests on the back burner again.  A head hunter called with a job possibility, and his call was an unexpected test of my resolve - would I jump at the chance for a steady paycheck, even at the cost of my own emerging interests?  It turned out, for today at least, the answer is no.
