I put in notice last Friday at my job. After less than one year working as a technical writer, I’m out. And I’ll never work full-time for anyone else if I can help it. I’m working for myself from here on out.

Independence has been declared and is effective on April 25, 2008. The perks: 12 hour work days, no guarantee of financial stability, Fridays off, a comfy home office, being my own boss, choosing my own projects, and creating my own work culture.

Self-employment is a beautiful thing.
