You’re Still Doing Remote Work All Wrong

On March 18, 2005, I cleaned out my desk at Registered Rep. magazine, the financial publication I was

(I can admit it now) a rather terrible business reporter for, and left a

job I’d held for two years. I didn’t leave on bad terms. I liked all my

co-workers and there were no sour feelings, but I also didn’t have

another job set up. I just knew I wasn’t a very good business reporter,

my boss agreed with me, and thus we went our separate ways. I turned in

my key card, filled out some paperwork with HR, and hit the Irish pub

across the street for a round of goodbye beers. I wasn’t sure what I’d

do next. Maybe try freelancing for a while?
