Return From Hiatus

OK. It's been a while, and I feel I have to explain before jumping into the latest kid's post. It's worth waiting for...

This is the news. The company I have been working for has reached a fork in the road that requires some staffing adjustments. After the hard push that started in October (just as I was moving from MA to OH), we experienced the quick-change that seems to hallmark the struggling company. This week our main push is one thing, the next week, that function is dropped from the product and we work on a different one. They have done everything right and produced a great product, but the market is reflective of the wonderful economy we have all been experiencing despite the rosy picture FOX TV wants to paint.

I won't get into gory details, but I was expecting a lay-off. After all, I'm a contractor. I'm there solely for the purposes of being laid off. So, while waiting for the call to end my career at this small start up, I was happy to be approached for a freelance editing job. Just the ticket. Not a constant full-time job. Just a few hours here and there. Plenty of time to get out and meet people here in my new state.

I finally go the call on a Thursday morning. But I wasn't laid off. They are keeping me on freelance. So, now I can stress over having two freelance positions and worrying that they will both have the same due dates.

No work over the past two weeks. I've just been re-taking control of my life. It's been nice.
