Fell out on the streets.
I've got a new gig! A gig so new I don't know how long it'll last or if I'll have anything close to a schedule or just be held on retainer and called in as needed! But still, a gig!
It was one of those know-someone-who-knows-someone things. Last Tuesday I met with a woman who needed someone to help with a personal genealogy project and organizing her family papers; tomorrow I'm going in for real billable hours. The whole thing is still preliminary, and it might be pushed back by a day or two - like I said, health allowing, and since it's just her and me, it's both hers and mine that'll change things. Offices can fluctuate. Personal projects have the double-edged sword of genuine reliance on every individual involved.
To celebrate, I bought a fresh notebook for the project. You know, to show how serious I am.
It could last for months or weeks. I've no way of knowing. It's just showing up, to start.
