he also drops words, usually incredibly inappropriately

I once had an article that read, honestly, "Failure to can lead to severe seizures." Failure to what, failure to WHAT???

JACR (jake-er)?

I don't think I've ever edited anything that went into JACR, no. Though I've done work for other journals from the company that publishes JACR (Elsevier), like Clinical Neuroscience Research, and Epilepsy and Behavior. Sometimes interesting, sometimes not.

Oh my GOD. That's classic. It also reminds me of what might be my favorite Spamusement ever.

No, really!  As long as you aren't expecting 1997 style 10 million dollars to build an office and purchase a small army's worth of nerf "fun workplace" gear, the Internet is an established enough business environment that if you come to them with good numbers and a realistic business plan (here's how we will have a positive cashflow in 6 months... here are several examples of businesses who have succeeded on a similar income model etc.) you can get a regular style business loan and not an "oh and we'll be taking 60% of your stock" venture capital investment.

No pressure, there, though. At least your overhead could be pretty darn low, especially if you are sleeping on a sofa in your parent's house (not that I'm accusing you of that, I'm just saying is all)

I'm a programmer for a bank.  My day consists mainly of being amazed that I am still paid to write Perl, of all things.  Though at my current job I get to mix in other outdated technologies like Pro*C and Oracle Forms.  Luckily, it sounds like I'm going to get some freelance work in something that may be marketable to potential future employers.

Watch out! A 900 million dollar loss can really take the wind out of your sails.
