After 8 months of “working” on a 6 foot folding table in my “hobby room” - I finally bought a desk.
I’ll be the first to admit I haven’t gone crazy with actually working since I quite my job and started working for our own companies last July. I’ve done work, but not as much paid work [...]

It’s Official - I Have An Office
COGS
Sooooo, way back in January of 1995, I was in the middle of my 3rd year of college. I’d opted not to play softball for a 3rd season . . . I REALLY wanted to graduate and be finished in 4 years. I was majoring in Accounting. I have no clue what ever possessed me to [...]
Pros and Cons of Working at Home
In June, Hubby and I decided it was time for me to quit my outside the home paying job and work for our own company at home. In the spirit of full disclosure, the decision may have happened something like this . . .

Working From Home
Yesterday was my first official day working from home for mine and Hubby’s business. Yup - I quit my other job . . . my last day was last Friday, July 1st. It was a tough decision . . . I really liked my employer and what the company did. I liked my flexible hours [...]
The Accidental Manager
So I’ve been at my new job for 18 months now, and I LOVE it! In August, I started working 30 hours/week when the kids went back to school. I wasn’t sure how the extra days/hours would fit in my volunteer/play/mommy schedule, but I’m LOVING it! Total stress relief. I was always stressed about not being [...]

Day One Down
I finished my first official day of work today. Ya, I know I had that half day of training last week, but that doesn’t really count. Today, I was actually in the office from 8-5 and was given an actual email address . . . woo hoo!
After 5 minutes, the marketing lady walked in with [...]

I Got My Coin
I went to meet with a guy this a.m. . . . we talked for about an hour about this and that and writing and editing and admin and the future. I signed my name a couple times. He gave me a coin the size of a silver dollar, but a bit thicker, smoother, and [...]
