rolling in it

[ironymaiden]

after a month of back and forth it's mostly final: i still have a job, but only half a job. that half includes all of my benefits and seniority, and i'm now working directly for my major client. many people at My Corporate Masters went above and beyond to make my continued employment happen.

but i'll still only be working 20 a week.

this morning is my first taste of horrible horrible freedom.

first i did research on the BBC 100 books meme that is popping up on Facebook, to point out that the list isn't from the BBC and no one there said the 6 books part and it's designed to make people feel righteous. but that kills the opener for talking about books with people which is mostly what it is. so i didn't post anything on FB about that, although the tabs of evidence are staring at me Right Now.

i also managed to stop myself from commenting on a Stranger article about confectioneries - the author made a passing comment disparaging beards! that will not stand! beards are awesome, hipster douchebags have just ruined them for the rest of us!

as in, i wrote something, then deleted it. i see how i could easily get entangled in drawn out flaming discussions about nothing of importance. (even though beards are awesome.)

is this the equivalent of a bored dog turning over the garbage? i need to get my business license done.

gleep!
in the hopes of ameliorating things slightly, i'll predict that, in a fortnight, a bearded dhrupadiya-in-training will arrive from points north with free time to occupy....

[ironymaiden]

and fwiw i spent at least an hour this morning reading tvtropes while at work

Probably.

I have developed a FB game habit while here entirely based on having nothing better to do.

Beards are definitely awesome, and if I had horrible horrible freedom, I probably would have made the comment, then rejoiced at the flaming that might have ensued (on either of those subjects).

Thanks for Space Chimps. Made me smile.

Yowch, at least you have the benefits still.

What's the biz license for? Or is it a sekrit project?

[ironymaiden]

a sole proprietorship allows me to do freelance work without going through an agency.

Beards ARE awesome! Daniel wore one for years. I still miss those fuzzy kisses!
