JOB... over!  
I am now officially done with the job I hated. I feel so free, and not only that, but I have a weekend of NO WORK. Zero. Not any. Plus, one of my clients offered me a small increase on my contract that will more than cover my insurance payment under COBRA! It's like a sign from the universe, isn't it?

Oh, I feel ficcish, I really do. Because I think my poor writing muses have just been SLEEP-DEPRIVED!

I also want to thank everyone for being so encouraging and happy for me about this job situation. Especially since I know a lot of you could easily think that complaining about too much work in this economy is a privileged thing to do. But no one did. You all are wonderful!

So, anything going on in your lives I could return the favor about? Or at least, are you doing anything fun this weekend?

Love,

Xie

Congratulations! \0/

Do you have any prospects yet? I wish you luck!

My good news is that I've lost 40 lbs so far since Oct. 2010.

25 to go!

I'll be headed back to my sucky postal job in 5 days. I've been off for 2 mo. due to a broken big toe. Seems like I've only been off for 2 weeks though. Time sure does fly.

I didn't need any new work, I have flexibility to do more on some of my contracts and make up most of it. So although my income will go down, it's not enough to do more than make me a little less reckless with the recreational spending, LOL.

Congratulations on the weight loss! That's wonderful, and I know how hard it is!

I agree, time off flies. Time at work, not so much.

{{{Hugs back}}}

Freeeeeedom!!! Yay!

Going to see "The Vagina Monologues" this weekend, which I have read but never seen. :-)

Good on you and I'm very happy for you! If you are in the position to have that flexibility, more power to you! Right now, I'm doing a course that will allow me that type of freedom (I hope), because the current job I have is slowly killing me due to a) nepotism = suffocating, and b) I just plain loathe it = soul sucking. Time for a change.

I'm going to a baby shower tomorrow, so lots of cooing over cute things.

Warning: You are entering a work-free zone
Now all you need for a perfect work-free weekend is softly falling snow, a big mug of tea, a fire in the fireplace, and dogs to snuggle with. Enjoy. FanSee

Re: Warning: You are entering a work-free zone
AMAZINGLY, I have those things! And Fansee: NO WORK this weekend. Not one single thing unfinished from this week. Nothing hanging over my head. No sense of dread. I'm not entirely sure I know what to do with this feeling!

You need to de-tox. If you start right now, a weekend will just about do it. Take it one hour at a time, and you'll be fine before you know it. FanSee

Congratulations!

Nothing big going on. Just hanging with family and seeing a cousin I haven't seen in awhile.
