What Is Wrong With Ifreelance.com?

Over the past week, I have had a lot of trouble signing onto ifreelance.com. Sometimes I can log on, but mostly it comes back saying the link is broken. This is on top of getting a message from ifreelance.com saying my bank declined my monthly membership, when my bank says they did nothing of the sort. Does anyone know what is going on? I would love to find out what is wrong. Please share if you know. Thanks!

Personal Injury Law--Mesothelioma

As I sit here wondering what direction to take my career in--stay where I am, go back to editing full time, or go for the law career--I want to think carefully about what to do. My overriding reason for going to law school was to be able to help myself and others. Help in the form of not letting people take advantage, knowing rights, understanding how to navigate the legal arena, and how to get relief. One of the most helpful and satisfying things I could do is help people get the money they deserve for injuries they have received. Mesothelioma is such an area. The stories are so sad. People don't even know they have mesothelioma for 20 to 40 years after exposure to asbestos--that is how long the latency period is. I don't know if there are actual mesothelioma laws or not, but I am going to research that. People who want a good settlement need to choose a mesothelioma law firm that specializes in that area. I love editing and can continue that on a freelance basis, but I thinking I am answering my own question. I need to go into the law where I can help people who can't help themselves.

Good News About Health Reform

I was thrilled to find out yesterday that the House passed the dems health reform bill. Good news indeed. We are on the first step towards finding a cure for our ailing health care industry. Hard to believe the people who are against it. Many of them are people who would be prevented from health insurance if they were to lose their jobs and could really use the reformed version. Can they see this? No. But not unusual for repubs and conservatives. Mental giants they are not.

Working Out With Kettleworx Kettlebell

I am tired tonight, but it is a good kind of tired. The kind of tired you get after a good workout. I have been working out with a Kettlebell for a few weeks, and it has been great. It is this cute little 5 pound, yellow kettlebell (they come in different weights and colors) that you hold in your hands and use in various exercises. It is better than using canned goods or weighted balls for exercise, because it has a handle, enabling you to do more things with it.

The workout program I have comes with a kettlebell, an introductory CD and six DVDs that are entitled Introduction, Fast Fat Burn, Fast Abs, Cardio, Core, and Resistance. I have not done every single workout on every single DVD yet but I have done enough to be impressed. The workouts start with a warm up, then the workout, and then a cool down. I am bad about doing warmups and cooldowns, so I am glad they are included to remind me to do them.

I have seen some improvement in my body in the short time I have been using the kettlebell. I am so flabby in my midsection, a workout geared towards abs and core is perfect for me. I have been using the treadmill at the gym, but combining that exercise with the kettlebell is doing the trick. You only need to do three 20 minute workouts a week with the kettlebell to see results, so that is good too. As busy as I am , that is about all I can devote to it. And the whole program only lasts six weeks, so I should be in great shape in no time. It is good to feel my body in motion again, and getting in shape, and the kettlebell will be a big part of my success.

At A Career Crossroads

Here I sit with a background in writing and editing, a law degree, and in a job that is not working out. What to do? The boss will not move forward, and in fact will not listen to me. He has threatened to fire me if I disagree with him. What lame is that? Another valuable coworker has been dissed by him and feels unappreciated as well. I came to this company with a plan and a promise to take over. That doesn't look like it is happening. Does he even care how much I gave up to come there. Of course not! Maybe there is not much confusion after all.

Bad Lung Diseases

I have had many relatives die from lung cancer. Yes, they had smoked in the past, but they had done the right thing and quit many years previous to their death. So, it was painful when they still died from lung cancer. It is a terrible disease and I want to start donating money to help stamp it out. One of the most poignant commercials on TV right now is Dana Reeve's sister talking about her death from lung cancer. And Dana had been a nonsmoker. No one in my family has had mesothelioma, but I know that is a terrible disease too. There is some malignant Mesothelioma treatment however. I hope one day soon these terrible diseases don't exist.

Getting My Law Life Organized

Not only am I trying to get my personal life organized, I am trying to get my new legal life organized. I have taken on a couple of clients, mainly for wills. Yes, I am nervous about doing this, but also energized. I am a lawyer! Those words sound awfully nice. I will be writing a first draft of a will soon and need to get a rubber stamp that says "draft" that I can use to stamp in red ink on the pages. I also need to get some other office supplies. Right now, I don't need anything really fancy. Mainly just extra time to figure out what I need to get started down this new road!
