It's overwhelming just attempting to recap two and a half months' worth of events, thoughts, and happenings, so unfortunately this may fall short. I will aim to provide the highlights - in reverse order. Four days ago P and I launched our new careers as freelancers/independent contractors. Yes, in a late-breaking development, my hubby decided to join me in this great adventure into the unknown. In the last post in early May you read about how I had decided to end my seven-year stint at CA and start a new career as a freelance editor. By about a week into June, P started to get quite antsy about his own prospects and informed his employer of the past two years (M&Co.) that he would be moving on. So, quite cozy in our remodeled home office (envisioned more as a spacious home office for one rather than a cramped yet functional home office for two), we went off to work this Monday morning (yes, we took showers and got dressed). I had my first project to work on, and he had his independent project to begin. It was, overall, a satisfactory and productive week working together and sharing our quarters.
Some highlights of working at home: never having to wait for the bathroom, lunch costs much less than $8, you can move your "desk" every hour if you want, casual dress, shoes optional.
Some disadvantages of working at home: where is the tech support when you need it?
