Yesterday started out kind of nasty, like trying to eat raw eggs when I'd ordered them cooked. but it got better by the end.
Tally: One news article in the commercial press, one news and one column in the school paper, one essay in another paper, odds and ends of poetry in funny places like the eskimopie wesbite.
Also by the end of the day, I got myself scheduled for two readings, without the ass-kissing I hate so much. On merit. So that's ok.
And the book of 100 poems is getting closer to completion.
Also, the assurance that I have more work in front of me, just enough but not too much.
It's great to have a job which adds to my pleasure rather than detracting from it. It might even make me more interesting to talk too. I definitely learn from the work, and it's always interesting. In other words I never get bored on the job.

cats are bastards for being so irreverant and yet so adorable.
