You'll be fine! :clap:  You will be wildly successful and wonder why you ever had any apprehension about being done with "The Man"!  When are you all coming to SoWal?  Now that you'll have all this "free" time on your hands? ;-)

The words of Dr Martin Luther King, Jr come to mind, "Thank God, Almighty, I'm free at last." Maybe his words had more meaning at the time, but you get the message just the same. ;-)

So now are you going to be working for the woman?  :lol:

I predict that you will be finished with all of those emoticons by midnight tonight.  The relief tends to outweigh the anxiety!

Self employment...can't beat it with a stick.  My boss and I have a beautiful love-hate relationship, but in the end I do what I darned well please!  :biggrin:  I wish I could do it forever, but one can only dig so many holes.
