LA LA Land

So, I've been here for exactly 6 weeks, 3 days, 1 hour and 20 minutes.
hmph.

I've loved every minute of it! (Except for those few moments each day when I was worried about not being able to pay bills). When I moved here, I was practically two checks away from bankruptcy. lol. Every morning, I would get up and feel relieved that I had no place to be. Suddenly, an overwhelming urge would hit me — I felt like going to the corner of my room, sucking my thumb and crying like a baby. Who quits a comfortably salaried position and leaves their family for the sunshine and no job???

I did. And I still have no "job," but I must say I've done pretty well for myself... I just sent off my third invoice as an Independent Contractor/Freelancer. Only ONE of those invoices was bigger than any paycheck I have ever received. Ah, well... not bad for my first month as a "non-employee."

There are some perks to being a "non-employee" too...
I am able to lay on the beach on a weekday and drink a Corona for lunch (I'll post bikini pics after I've worked on my tan)! I can also go out for breakfast at 11 am on a Monday in my pajamas (Pajama pics coming soon too)! Most importantly, I say who. I say when and I say how much. Aside from all you rich mo-fo's, how many of you can say you do that without playing hookie from work?

Of course there are drawbacks:
.I have no job security.
.I might not get paid.
.I must pay self-employment taxes.
.I may be personally liable for business debts.
.I have no employer-provided benefits.
.I have no unemployment insurance benefits.
.I have no employer-provided workers' compensation.
.I have few labor law protections (I'm still working at 11:26 pm).

So, tomorrow I have an interview for a 9 to 5 and BCBG wants to talk to me again next week!
:o)

What should I do??????
Stay tuned for more.
