I'm, like, totally legal

So remember that post where I talked about creating a job?

And how that job was mine?

That was all well and good, but it was kinda, sorta an arbitrary statement.

Until the last 24-hours, when I both:
1. Submitted my first invoice for services

and

2. Applied for and was granted a "doing business as" and business license for the city of Alexandria.

I'm sorry, maybe you didn't realize. I was pausing to allow for applause. Perhaps I should say it again:

I FREAKIN' SUBMITTED AN INVOICE. People want to pay me to do stuff for them -- like, VOLUNTARILY.

And I FREAKIN' HAVE A BUSINESS LICENSE. As in, a REAL business. Go ahead. Call Alexandria City Hall. I'M ON RECORD WITH THEM.

Ok, ok, so I don't actually have payment for said invoice. But now you're just getting really picky.

I even have a business name, although I'm going to ask you to wait for it. (I am into branding, after all, and can't imagine MY OWN business brand getting away from me when it's been in existence a mere nine hours.)

I still don't know exactly where this is going, and if it's long term. In fact, I have an interview on Thursday. It may turn out that they become another client, or maybe it'll become something full time. I'm fortunate enough that I still have a little bit of time to figure this all out.

And even the teeniest bit longer because... I SUBMITTED A FREAKIN' INVOICE!
