Life of the unemployed

So, it's official. I am officially unemployed. Well, I've actually been unemployed since May 1st. I originally thought this would equate to much more regular blog postings. Hmm,... we can all see how that's not happened. :-)  I'll say this lack of posting is due to the rigors of newborn childcare, but it seems that this lack of typographical pontification is due to --- wait for it --- laziness. I seek to remedy this. Updates, per se, won't be posted. Instead, I willl just provide snipets (at least that's what I'm saying at this moment). Here goes ....

I'm getting ready to begin editing my first, official freelance editing job for a faculty member in the department where I used to work. It is very odd ... trying to set a rate of pay for yourself. I guess I've been in the pre-set-pay world a bit too long. I've edited/proofed many pieces of writing over the years, but this is the first time I've set an official rate to charge. Jeesh -- Now I'll have to actually do a good job since I'm getting PAID to do it. hehehehehe
