And it felt sooooo good.  ;-)

It's a darned good thing Roz has a sense of humor. <grin>

Did anyone else hear the crack of a whip after reading this post? ;)

Well maybe I could rejoin the BOD, heheh.

I don't finish here until 14th October though, so for now... That's *quite*
enough from you Mr. Colby, this thread is getting dangerously off-topic!
Back to your reusable code, forthwith!

What, no Roz tickling my back with her cat-0-nine?  Where will I get my
titillation?

Hiya

Thank you for the good wishes. The masters is in Creative Writing and the
novel is one I started several years ago but have never found the time to
finish, it's about erm... I guess it's about the nobility of truth versus
the attractions of artifice. It's a very silly book really but I'm enjoying
working on it. No publisher yet; I need a second draft before I share with
anyone.

I will certainly stick around - can't imagine life without y'all - though I
might have to go to digest mode and resign my modship :(

Roz

Hi Roz
Don't have anything practical to add (you spotted the obvious one about
freelance work not readily fitting round personal timetables) but just
wanted to say good luck. What's the Masters in, and more intriguingly what's
the novel? Is it your first? Do you have a publisher? etc etc When can we
look to see Roz Clarke in Waterstones?

And I hope you'll be sticking around AccessD.

Dear all

Like so many access-d members before me, I will shortly be giving up my day
job and looking for freelance work. The trouble is I don't want to work 24/7
- I am starting a masters degree this autumn, and writing a novel. But it
would be nice to keep my hand in with a bit of analysis &/or development
work, and of course the money would not go amiss.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I could do this?

I have 10 years experience with Access but I'm no guru, as you know. I've
extended into other Office apps a good deal, including Outlook. I have some
SQL dev skills and a smattering of SQL DBA knowledge. I'm getting into
ASP.NET. I'm a good analyst and I think I'm a decent team leader, (whatever
Tom says). My real strength is project management.

I'd like to work 2 days a week, but I appreciate that freelance work never
respects that kind of wish. :)

Any advice would be much appreciated

TIA

Roz
