I am somewhat employed for a short time, working from home.
SWEET
It is a short-term gig which will get extended if we all get along and they like what I do.
We all like each other so far, but it's the details, they liked the ideas I had, but now I have to write for them :) and that they have to like.
If the gig gets extended, sweet, if not, at least it's a new, current bulletin on my resume, AND, I'm working from home, did I mention that?
It's perfect since I have two classes left from my master's and can't really afford daycare just yet for the twins. What I want, though, is full time salaried eventually, because lets face it, contract work is nice but not stable.
I've got a 'we've got someone who can hook you up with gigs' response, but honestly, that never has worked for me. We shall see!

Scrooge McLahdeeda
Was I a scrooge the year before last?
I can't recall.
All I know is I am Swamped. With a capital S. SWAMPED as in all caps.
I have a 15 page paper due Sunday (working on) and a term project for a class I barely understand due the week after, but of which is somehow more time consuming.
I have Christmas presents to buy (have I done any Christmas shopping? Heck n crap no... too busy) and we are going through a thing with Drama Girl which requires weekly appointments for the next month (well, through Dec. 21).
I'm not looking forward to Hubby McRed's office Christmas party at all.
...and by the way, what does one do, actually, when one finally gets a masters, but hasn't been in the work force? It's very difficult to find a job, no matter what you do or what you have, but I've essentially given up (I think) a job in writing, public relations, or communications, because those three areas seem incredibly unbelievably difficult for me to get into, and perhaps I should just read those signs...
(Yes, I am going to join the communication's writers group Blister to My Eye sent me, as soon as I can find the link, but I've given up hope. I can't decide if I'm an idiot or I'm just not really in the field I think I am)
Well,
Wish me luck, I'm off to a phone conference for my incredible difficult class! Tah!
Oooh and if I"m lucky, I can still GET to the Enterprise's Christmas Party... argh.
