I'm not yet, no-- only one qualifying sale under my belt, and I need three. I'm a little afraid to bad-mouth them too publicly before I make an attempt at recouping my lost income, but on the other hand maybe a lot of public bad press will make the guy answer my damn emails already.
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

(Oh, and the magazine is run by a Jay Faulkner, who lives in Northern Ireland and seems to have no trouble updating his Twitter, despite him seeming inability to answer email.)

Can you respond to a tweet saying "Oh good you are online, can you answer my email message already?"
I am having agita because I sent something off to our client at the end of the day that I think showcased some messiness in our requirements doc and she emailed me a little after 5 to call her and I'd left already to go to a benefit happy hour thing. argh! I want to think our shit is pretty tight but I really don't think it is in this case. I wish I hadn't checked my email tonight. feh.

Oh, good, you're online, can you take down the story or pay me for it?

I... don't actually have a Twitter. I guess I could get one. I'm not sure if my next communication with him should be an Official Scary Letter, or something less formal.

Because books.
Official Scary Letter. If he doesn't answer email, he'll ignore a tweet.

Yeash, Holli. That's infuriating.
Confession time: I've had pangs to get another cat. I know it for what it is, not really another cat, just MK back. There's a MK shaped hole in this house. It'll shrink, and I truly have no desire to have 4 cats, it's just grief. Cause god knows I'm full with the three now, especially since Devi's become extra-affectionate (not sure if she's picking up on me or the integration of Pumpkin, finally) and so it isn't as if I am wont for feline attention (Pumpkin LOVES toilet flushes. So not only do I get captive audience attention, she sticks around for that.)
But man, my brain is squirrelly.
Please let no strays cross my path for a while.

Thrive to spite them
So I think in addition to the kitten I'm trading one of my recliners for a couch my neighbor doesn't want. It's not a great couch, but it's a couch where Will and I can actually sit next to each other and uncomfortably cuddle, rather than just pulling recliners close and holding hands.
Plus the recliner I'm tradiing is one that's been in the family for a long time and has been passed around because it belonged to my great grandmother and even though it's ugly and only semi comfortable no one wanted to get rid of it.
Holli that magazine is horrible. I hope you can get scary letter!
