Changing habits
I had lunch with one of my main clients today, it was the finale to my period of self employment. I get along well with the two people at this particular company who I've worked with for the last three years, so lunch was informal and filled with laughs.
Afterward, it really hit home that while I'm excited about going back to work for The Man, it will take time to become accustomed to losing the level of freedom that came with working for myself. For example, email exchanges like the one I had this morning with @rperdio and @trxxxy , and the activities described therein are unlikely to be appropriate in my new workplace:

You beat me to the punch - I was about to email you about this. It's on next week for the La Mirada Film Fest, Wed 7th 6.30pm, Hierro.
Come? I'll get tix.

I don't want them passing you around from high ranking officer to high ranking officer... remember you are a class act.
& catch another viewing of WORKING GIRL.
Hahahha! It is nice to be self-employed due to the freedom that entails with it. I am also thinking of the same thing if I dont get a design job before summer comes.
Btw, Happy Easter!
