The Tide Turns

Today I finished a piece to send to Shouts and Murmurs. Finished (but not 100%) a short story, which I sent off to a couple of capable readers. Successfully held out for a better rate on the job that called for tomorrow. Talked to people I hadn't spoken to in ages, Cornelius and Antonito. Talked to Remy and Tim. Accomplished everything on the list but negotiating up my rate at Rolling Stone. Geez, maybe I should have hit on some chicks in the gym, but I did speak to the chick at the production house who I threw a smile to outside the work building only to have her walk up and introduce herself as the person who just hired me (oops? or good, one or the other).
