Waking up to a chilled 1st Sunday of March 2013.

Good morning world

Nice chilly one down here too...although only mid-50s overnight and in the mid-60s today.

I do feel your pain, Cleo. In fact, when I "left mainland USA" behind and moved down to Key West in the late 90s I promised myself that I'd no longer seek out or accept clients with whom I could have a face-to-face meeting. For me, nothing is a bigger waste of my time than to have to sit there and discuss the details of a project with someone whose ideas I think are completely ridiculous and whose logic is lacking in many ways but who's paying the bill.

I've only broken my promise a few times, and in those cases the payout was very good, the clients were reasonable people, and I was given the free reign to do things my way that I said was a requirement at the start of negotiations.

Of course, with the economic situation in online adult marketing the way it is today, it's really hard to turn away any work that pays well. This really isn't the time to be saying "no" to opportunities to earn. So I usually just quote a very high rate for the project and let them say no instead. And when I get a surprise "yes" at least I know I can spend some of the money on things that help make the pain go away.

Yes! Dihydrogen monoxide with citrus limonium for the win!

Wishing a good first Sunday of a month that begins with MA to all.
