what's going on
I am officially a business owner!! I got my WA state UBI # yesterday. Melanie Davis d/b/a Perfect Proofing. All I have to do now is file with City of Seattle and I'll be completely legal.
Now I need a logo. If anyone has a really boring day and wants to create one for me, that would be highly appreciated. Appreciation might be shown in the form of coffee or beer.
I really suck at blogging lately. Life has been pretty mundane. Mostly it revolves around trying to get Brandy to stop barking so much. I have resorted to the squirt-her-in-the-face-with-a-water-bottle technique. It works, it's just a little embarrassing carrying a squirt bottle with me everywhere I go.
Just a week or so ago I got two new clients. Work is looking good this year. Maybe I'll finally be able to pay off my medical bills. I also switched my office hours at the Engineering firm. I'm now working 8:00ish to 12:30ish. It's so much better than working afternoons. I used to have to work afternoons because I had to cover the phones for the receptionist during her lunch. We made the new girl do that though. So now I work mornings and I have all afternoon and evening to myself. It is really bizarre. I always feel like I'm doing something wrong when I'm out the door at lunch time. It's fabulous though. I have so much more time. I used to go to work at noon and I would waste the whole morning.
What shall I do this afternoon? Go for a walk; watch a movie; sew; get drunk; do my taxes? Usually I don't have that much free time, but I don't have any proofing work this week...

Congrats on the business! Sounds like you have great hours at your job. I wish I could have "Mommy" hours like that at times! How was your trip??

Congratulations and, as they say in Scotland, "awwra best"!
Need any marketing done? We need some more overseas clients and I promise to drop my day rate to under 1000 pounds for you and only you. [1000 pounds day rate? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, etc.]
