I am a free woman September 29, 2006

Posted by CamdenKiwi in : Being Freelance , trackback

My current contract finished today and so I am once again either carrying out intense marketing and business development activity, or being an unemployed bum, depending on your view of things.  Tomorrow, I’m off to France for a week, but after that there’s a very good chance there will be a lot more blogging going on around here.

I’ve decided that this time I will take a few months to see if i can develop my work in a rather different way, with 4-5 clients in any given year rather than one long project.  I’ve been revamping the website, putting together lists of prospects and setting up meetings for when I’m back in early October, so I don’t expect to spend a lot of time loafing around in cafes.  Probably.

But for this afternoon, I’m sitting in a cafe in Brighton, waiting for some friends to join me in an hour or so, finishing off a little paperwork and watching the world go by.  It’s a good life.

Welcome to the ranks of the indolent and impecunious. Doing the minimum possible while watching the world go by is very pleasant - and very seductive. As one who has not done a stroke of honest work in two decades I can speak with some authority. Give Jockey my regards and best wishes.

I hope you thoroughly enjoy your freedom, and that many suitable prospects are about to loom into sight.

I’m wondering whether you’re in Brighton just for the day, or whether you can get a train from there to France? I thought the tunnel went from Dover, but my geography is notoriously poor. Have a wonderful week in Gay Paree!
