And now for something only tangentially baby-related. Okay, probably not so tangential, but anyway... I was just contacted by my former employer for freelance work in case I needed something to do on maternity leave. Huh. Interesting.
I'm intrigued - mostly because, while I do have a bit more free time than I did previously, someone assumes that my brain is working well enough to do freelance work for them at a very high billing rate (because I have no compunction about raking them over the coals). I'm tempted to say yes because it'd be a lot of money doing something I spent years doing, so it'd be second nature. But at the same time, I've got a new baby, am sleeping about 3-4 hours a night on a good night and am right now unable to think of anything beyond a sleep-deprived "Bwuh?" The only coherent thought I've got right now is that I won't talk about it on Facebook. I probably shouldn't talk about it here, either, but my boss doesn't have a link to my blog, but he did friend me on Facebook.
He's a very nice guy, but at the same time, where is that line between friends and employer? Also, his boss friended him, so anything I say there could easily go up the chain to the senior VP of our company and right up to the CEO/owner. Ah, the Age of the Internet, where information is too available and you have to watch your back with your online friends.

If you would like me to come over and be a human baby bed, just let me know when. I can either bring coffee and you can try and get those brain cells firing, or exercise, or gossip, or heck, even take a nap!
You are always more than welcome to come over in any capacity - baby bed or not.
