The obligatory year-end post
2007 has been THE year for me.
The year I finally said enough is enough to working for someone else.
The year my dream to visit Wolong came true.
The year I took the scary step to set up my own business and work for myself.
————-
I still have a few more write-ups in my “Among Pandas” series. I will get them written and posted here.
I have been been “unemployed” for six months. It’s been more of a sabbatical as I have not been very aggressive looking for work. (I don’t even have a name card yet, altho I did register my business, it’s called Netsence Communications, in case anyone is wondering.) I did work a little, I sent out proposals to do websites, I set up an editing service (at someone’s request, with promise of manuscripts to edit), but they all came to nothing. I guess the type of work I offer is not considered essential, but doable by oneself or family members.
But I am not penniless or starving. One advantage of being the youngest in a close-knit family is that my elder siblings continue to look out for me. I don’t need to work for money, which means I can pick and choose my projects (not that there are any to pick and choose from). Nevertheless, I do need to work for my sense of well-being (aka to feel useful and wanted).
I do have a couple of sources of passive income, and continue to look for more. Having passive income means I can spend my time doing things I really want to do.
I’m probably not making much sense, so I’ll stop here.
Oh, just one more thing.
The sabbatical is over. After the new year, I will be back on a daily schedule and routine, I will be on the look-out for projects to work on. If you know of anyone wanting a manuscript to be looked at, or a website to set up, please let me know. Thanks.
