Back to Work
By Katy
I went back to work on Monday. Like most of you, I imagine, it was after a long holiday. Unlike most of you, I wasn’t paid for my looonnnggg holiday, but to be honest, I’m 100% OK with that. I probably had a much longer vacay than you did, and it really is just the life of a freelancer. Plus, I knew I was coming back to work this week, and that just makes being on holiday that much sweeter. I think last December, I wasn’t sure if I was going to have a job in January, so I’m very grateful this year!
Now, first day back at work felt like the first day of school. Everyone’s excited to see each other. I was a bit nervous, and I was wearing new clothes. I also got to pick where I would sit.
What about you? Did you start work this week after a holiday? Did you get a lot accomplished? Were you happy to be back? How did it feel? Is 2010 the year the economy picks up again? Happy New Year, everyone!

Hi, Katy,
We at Funemployed did actually start work in January again – we’re working as babysitter/nanny and part-time marketing consultant but still doing the Funemployed thing. I was excited to go back to work because I really enjoy my work now. And then I got a cold…and now I’m blogging and drinking orange juice and tea and trying to get better so I can actually work next week.
Hope you read our blog again and I apologize for not getting back to you with your request several months ago – I was in the middle of training to be a teacher (which I promptly quit because WTF – the shit is too hard) and I wasn’t blogging at that time. If you still want to cross-post anything, be my guest, just let me know and give our blog credit.
Best,
Mimi Me

It’s back to the grind on Monday. Hopefully 2010 will be a better year for everyone. Right now I’m enjoying one last might in your beautiful city Katy. The weather is so nice in LA! I’ll be freezing my butt off with everyone else in Dallas by Saturday.

I felt exactly like you, Katy! It was like the first day back at school and it quickly became a drowning amount of work. Ugh! How is the new gig?

Heather, I thought we were going to hang out when you were in town! And Stef, the new gig is the same gig but different. It’s great!
