I found that I actually worked less hours at a 8-5 job, but now I can actually file blogging hours under “work.” The biggest expense for me wasn’t financial, but the extra time spent lining up projects and dealing with the accounting. After a while, even these tasks became almost second nature.

I worried about becoming a recluse as well, but compensate by making time to meet friends for lunch when possible and scheduling occasional work trips to break up the monotony (it helps when the business trips are music festivals).

I did, however, stop mid-sentence and correct myself. That would be after I started to laugh at myself. Or perhaps I cried. If I say it again (ever in my life) I’m going to start washing out my own mouth with soap.

Because I am right now. You might need to go to the doctor, you could have some kind of tumor in the speech parts of your brain. I’m worried.

*sigh*

I said “irregardless” again today.
In front of a classroom of kids.

Apparently this is an actual sickness.
