He's made sales recently, and says he'll be able to pay both months some time this week. But that does me zero good until then, since I cannot eat a promise, nor fill my tank with it.
Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Sean, will I see you at HHN tonight? I can give you a wee bit of cash.

Thanks Drew. Right back at you, man.
laga, I will be there tonight. I'll talk to you then.
*sigh*. Well, it could be way worse, so whatevs.
It sure is nice to have a job to go to.
Seriously. I was talking to my dad not too long ago, and we were talking about ways to generate more work, but I had to remind him that I'm one of the lucky ones - I'm getting work. And while we came up with some strategies for trying to generate more work, I told him there may not be much more work to be found. That it's not just about how hard I'm trying to find it. That's how pervasive this meme of "people who don't have jobs are just lazy" is - it can sneak up even on people who otherwise know better.
It doesn't help that just looking around, clearly there's stuff to be done. Just no one wants to pay for that stuff.
If I'm honest with myself I admit I didn't look as hard as I could have last month, knowing that I had a little work this month.
I'm not sure that's laziness. That's knowing you had a bit of breathing room and taking it.
