My first publishing job

When a friend gasped in disbelief after I told her, I realized I hadn't told many people I was fired from my editorial assistant position in December.

Since I'm liberated from the grammatical and stylistic constraints of my ex-job, I'll write informally.

So yes, I was fired from the job I was so proud of in December, pretty much right after Brian and I came back from our week-long vacation traveling about north Florida. It was one of the best weeks of my life.

It's not easy to contain my chagrin at my past employer. If some involuntarily seeps out, oh well. I'm only human.

I'm not writing this entry to air out my discontent. I just realized I hadn't really made it public knowledge. Shrug.

I also wanted to start chronicling my current and future steps; namely finishing college (16 credits to go), applying enough self-discipline to get my business off the ground, and such.

Change is the only constant.
