I'm going to be wearing stretchy pants for weeks...

You know you’ve eaten too much when you literally can barely fit in to your pants after a week of holiday feasting. I’ve been hitting the gym like whoa the past few days but with a fridge full of leftovers and pies from mom, it’s basically a lost cause.

I interviewed late last week for the freelance editing position and heard back this morning that I got it! I start next week and, aside from two or three in-house meetings, all the work can be done remotely. I’m excited but nervous that I’ll get overwhelmed. I’ve taken on a ton of freelance projects and will still be working full-time so it will be quite a busy couple of months.

I’ve also got a couple of interviews lined up at the end of this week for some editing positions. One’s at a magazine and the other for a website. I’ve never done web editing and haven’t really done a ton of web writing, but it will be good interview experience anyway. I think my boss is getting suspicious that I keep having these “doctors appointments” and I feel bad missing more work, especially since I’ve been sick forever and missed so much already! As much as I really want a job in publishing, I will feel bad leaving here…

Hope everyone had a fabulous holiday! I’ve been getting a lot of emails and requests for freelancing tips (even though I’m really no expert), so tomorrow perhaps I’ll post a little something about how I got in to it…
