Heh. Well, therein lies a tale. Previously, I worked for the CA State Bar, herding attorneys (Whee. Fun.). It was your basic 40-hour/week, killer benefits, can-only-be-fired-if-you-show-up-at-work-with-a-shotgun, type job. Great if you want nothing more out of life than dealing with BS bureaucratic red tape for 25 years just to secure a semi-reasonable retirement (which, given the current mess of the stock market, is most likely no longer even remotely semi-reasonable). Meanwhile, I did some freelance writing on the side.

After my big move (2004), I started pimping my freelance writing - did mostly advertising and web copy for small businesses. In early 2007, I hooked up with a Dallas auction company, researching collectibles and writing catalog descriptions for them (I used to do this work years ago in LA). Everything was FAB until last fall, when they stopped flying me out there to work, and sent things to me in the mail, instead. Unfortunately, the work load is now only about half what it's been, so I'm searching for an actual *gag* full-time job.

GDMF economy buggered up my perfect semi-retirement! %$#@!
