Kelly Loves Quitting Her Job and Going Freelance

I definitely love the quitting part. We'll see, as of January 1, 2010, whether or not I love the actual "going freelance" part. But I suspect I will. Herewith, my Top Ten List for why I anticipate loving my new lifestyle:

10) I get to write all day, instead of being in meetings all day.
9) Never again missing a powder day!
8) There won't be an Accounts Payable guy in my life anymore, which means Baxter won't have to bark rabidly every time he walks by my office.
7) More time to blog, right?
6) All the cool kids are doing it. (Witness Exhibit A and Exhibit B.)
5) I'm done asking permission to go to the dentist.
3) Only two clients for all of 2010, both of whom I love.
2) No more sitting through soul-deadening discussions parsing out how the G&A allocation will affect the P&L. Aaarhghgh!

And the #1 reason I think I will love quitting my job and going freelance....drumroll please....

1) I will be a professional writer! How cool is that?
