I am going to be selbstständig!

So what does selbstständig mean exactly? Leo says:

1. Self-employed
2. Dependent upon one's self.

It's actually a very apt word in German because as of now, I'm responsible for paying all my bills out of my own resourcefulness instead of just waiting for that paycheck to roll in at the end of the month :-O

So after I told my boss, I posted on Facebook to let everyone know I decided to pursue my long-standing ambition to run my own party shop!

Woo Hoo! No more 8-6 office hours for me!
