I think the number was spoofed.
A few weeks ago, I got a call from a number I didn't recognize. I picked up the phone and said "Hello?" A young man said, "Oh gramma, I'm so glad you're home. I'm in trouble and I really need your help."

"Oh, that's too bad," I said, "but I guess you're going to have to take care of your OWN shit, because I don't have any grandchildren."

Heh.

DAMN, Edna. I've got another Project Manager asking for my time. In particular, she says: "It’s time sensitive and we need someone on this that can work quickly and meet deadlines."

Unfortunately, I'm awaiting the final files for another project (front/back matter, resources, etc.), so I can't really commit. So I suggested the two Project Managers work out a way that I can complete both of their projects.

BTW, this new project pays .75% mor than the one I'm already working on. The bidding war progresses . . .

Thanks, Bruce! I had to turn the new project down, since I'm due to receive the final files for my current book next week.

Ah well. At least word is getting around that I'm good at what I do and can be depended on to meet even the craziest deadlines. My client is a BIG global company and their editing/publishing arm puts out roughly 2000 books a year, so I think I'll have lots of work going forward. Yay!

Three-quarters of a percent? 75 cents? 75%?

I confuse so easily.

Yeah, I'm paid by the page. Typical rate is $2 per page. The new job offer came in at $2.75/page. Super rush jobs bring $3/page.

I'm never going to get rich doing this, but it pays the bills and it's work I like. Plus, I can work in my jammies and do bong rips whenever the hell I want; I'm my own manager.

Yeah, I think I screwed that up. I'm a word girl; numbers are not my thing.

But now you know what I meant to say. S'all good.

VACATION!!!!

I haven't taken a real vacation in about 10 years. I'm long overdue.

To treat myself, at the end of January I will be spending 10 days at this place . . . .

Playa Laguna Beach Villa, Sosua, Dominican Republic <- more pics at link







And guess what? It's FREE! (It's my nephew's place).

WAHOOOO!~

Better find out if Trump will let you come back as he's a little pissy about traffic from that direction.

I've got an idea, why don't take a boy toy with you for protection.
