I do rather enjoy being a contractor and having my work translate into actual pay, for better or worse. This is one of those times when it's definitely better. It certainly sucks for the members of the team who aren't contractors, but then again, I so far haven't seen them putting in nearly as many hours as the contractors have. Which is fine -- I pick up their slack and bill for it. ;-) My total for this week is looking like 70 hours including tomorrow. That'll help a <em>lot</em>. Those are all great stories.

I kind of like translating my effort into purchasing power. When I had that biweekly column, one column was a house payment. I think that the bathroom ended up eating an awful lot of the money I made off an online book project. :) Go you, Kate. You can do this.
