We’ve done it now.  Signed, sealed, delivered.

The husband and I are starting our own business.

After over a year of fruitless job searches, redundant interviews, and down-right insulting offers, we decided that our experience and expertise is worth so much more than the current job market is willing to bear.  So we said “screw you” to Corporate America, being underestimated and undervalued; the shark-tank environment, and no reward for loyalty.  And do NOT even try to tell me there isn’t rampant ageism in the job market.  Or discrimination toward women who have been fortunate enough to take a hiatus from the work force to raise children.  Unless you’re twenty-four, fresh out of college, willing to work for near-poverty level wages, and preferably blonde – you, my dears are shit outta luck – no matter how impressive your  resume may look and how well you’ve kept up your skills.  You’re old, honey.  And you may eventually want a raise and benefits.  Pariah Carey – as Nolan Ross might call you.

We are venturing into the boutique marketing and advertising world.  It’s going to be difficult to transition, a lot of work, and we’re terrified.  We are also insanely excited and cannot wait to get started and take this town by storm!   Stay tuned for updates as the journey continues.  It should be interesting.
