what is this?

Nouns verbing is a virtual workplace created by a group of freelancers who missed the social/collaborative aspects of working in an office. It may also include traditional office-working types who want an online home base while they're at work. The only requirement is that they participate.

We use the nouns verbing website to socialize, encourage each other, problem solve and generally keep ourselves motivated. The same kinds of things everyone gets from sitting next to really great coworkers.

The icons by our names show our status - in the office, away from the office, etc. You can also AIM with us by clicking on those icons.

Thanks for dropping by!

Monday Morning.... er Afternoon

I don't know what to tell you, Sarah. Focus on the positive? Don't let the man get you down? Don't live too many days at a time? Personally, I think the only way I manage the rollercoaster is to live very much "in the moment." Don't look too far ahead, don't look to far behind. Right at this moment, this is what I'm doing, and this is good.

All that said... I just sent a query letter to a company I heard was hiring. Yep, fulltime. I've been freelancing for three years or so, and I'm not sure I can take the feast and famine. Even the feast times are kind of scary. How long is this money going to have to last? How much of it can I spend on luxuries? So many uncertainties.

Still, I love being able to take long walks with the dogs and not worry about getting to an office at a particular time. I love taking the afternoon or the day off to spend with my nieces/nephews and not have to ask someone or give them a good excuse.

Deep, cleansing breaths. Find your happy place. Live in the moment.
