Complaining about it makes me feel whiny and ungrateful
I think complaining about this is totally reasonable! You're not whining about, say, What A Man Might Think If You Cut Your Hair! Your situation is more like a Sophie's Choice.
I'm trying to think of this as an opportunity, not the loss of 1/3 of my income.
You are getting rid of a flaky, demanding, and mentally taxing client and have six months to find a better client who pays on time and maybe doesn't make you contemplate death.
Celebrate that with a nap.
Oh, that is six months notice. Nice! For some reason I was thinking October was sooner than that. Perhaps because I am in forecasting mode, my sense of now-ness is not precise.
I hope a new freelance gig comes your way, Steph.
Thanks for the kind words, everyone.
Sweet fancy Moses, these pillows are going to change my LIFE. I forgot what a really good pillow can do for you.
I need to buy new pillows when I get home.
Timelies all!
Am taking tomorrow off. Not for Avengers:Age of Ultron, but for Malice Domestic.(Convention focused on mysteries from the "traditional" end of things. Books!)
On phone with Comcast's automated system. Have not even made it to a person yet, already filled with rage.
I'm in DC! The hotel is nice and I had dinner in my old neighborhood, which is finally nice! Good times.
Jesse, what's your old neighborhood?
Grey's Anatomy: That wasn't at all what I was expecting this week.
So good to rant/discuss with my instafriend/former neighbor tonight. We can finish each others' sentences. And I needed to hash out Baltimore with someone who gets it, not have to educate or debate for a win.
