As a joke, she told me to check with my boss to make sure I could take time off. Gotta love it! I, too, have a schedule, although it's not always easy to keep. When it's just me and nobody else I'm answerable to, it's easy to get distracted with other stuff. Just keep on keepin' on!

Just keep on keepin’ on!

You forgot to mention the fantastic yearly raises and bonuses we don't get. And we do this because... You've written a damned fine blog, Yasmine, but you forgot to mention you started a website, submitted to several agents, pitched to at least one publisher, dug out your Strunk & White, and have learned from a gang of writers how to improve. Darlin', for the first year in a new career you've done excellent. This job is a bitch. You forgot to mention the fantastic yearly raises and bonuses we don’t get. And we do this because…
