I May

I May
From today, the 1st of May, I’m officially unemployed. The birdie’s got it right when he says, Yippee!

To get all deep and meaningful about it, I must note the significance of starting my freelance life on Worker’s Day, just three days after Freedom Day, and in the month of “May” – which is a word full of permission and possibility…
Eeee! I’m free!
Lots of cool stuff on the cards: Jesse and I are working on a very exciting project about which we may not yet speak, my diary’s stuffed with deadlines (freedom is relative), and Paul and I are off to London and Tuscany at the end of the month. Sigh, isn’t it a tough life for the unemployed?

    You sound as liberated and excited as I did he day I quit my full-time job 9 years ago. It was the best day of my entire career and I haven’t looked back since.

    Enjoy Tuscany and London. What a great month May is shaping up to be for you!
