freelancing has been better to me than my old full-time gig… in every way except for the uncertainty. “Will this last? Will I get paid this week?”

the health insurance situation is effed up. I’ll explain more later if it ever gets sorted out.

Good Luck, hon. It looks like you are starting your next steps, good for you!

Consider yourself BLESSED that you have an emergency fund.

Isn’t freelancing fun? (being totally sarcastic here) I mean, I’m sure its fun for some people, but when you only get 2 hours of work…. and your bills keep coming, freelancing just isn’t fun.

Whatever happened with your meds? Does you health insurance even work anymore?

I’m so sorry to hear this. My boss had a talk with me today about how we lost a big client and another is losing HIS biggest client (a new team is pushing out the old team he was working with) so it sounds like 2009 may be our last unless something new comes in.

Sigh. Nothing like experiencing the downturn first hand to get you to really take it seriously.
