moneymoneymoneyI had a meeting this morning and lots of stuff this afternoon. The sun is finally back out and warming the place up, which is especially fabulous since Brett made a huge fuss about not using the heater again this season. Good thing Madison got those footie pajamas for her birthday but the rest of us were freezing all day yesterday!!

I’m lamenting the lousy contract I signed two years ago for an essay someone wants to reprint. She likely can but will need to pay the folks who published the piece. If this goes through it’ll be the second reprint I’ve missed out on and I’m afraid the beauracracy of getting permission will shoot my essay to the back of the line. It kills me because this is such a good, out-of-the-blue opportunity and if only I hadn’t had stars in my eyes two years ago, I never would have signed the darn thing without trying to negotiate.

(Let that be a lesson to me!)

I could use some good career news right about now because between this debacle and my biggest client paying out late (it’s two weeks late now and people, that’s my mortgage) I’m in a terrible, no good, very bad mood about the whole thing.
