Daily Thoughts

So I got my iMac today. It came from a person I write for.  I was so excited, then I got a shock.  I thought I was guaranteed a certain number of articles this month, and found out they had given most of them away already.  They say if I write them they’ll pay for them, but it just sort of makes me wonder, you know?

I am a person of my word. If I say I’ll do something, barring unforseen circumstances, I will.  If I make a promise, ditto.  So when someone tells me something, I count on it.  I guess I just think other people will too. Now I know better about this one, I guess.

So I’ll do these articles, and then keep working for them as long as they are paying me, but I foresee problems in the future.  Nobody can pay for articles that aren’t sold, right?  How do they know they’re going to sell them?  

You know what they say about ducks…??

But I do love the Mac. It’s an awesome machine. I made a deal that I would write the articles for a certain amount of money if they sent it to me, so I’ll keep my word on that.  I did price it, though, so I’ll know when I’ve paid for it.  Might take awhile.

Oh well, life isn’t always like we want it to be, but it would be nice if just once it was. It would be nice if just once you could believe people and not think that if someone’s mouth is moving, they’re lying.  Just once…
