Humbug

So, after nearly two months of not running me, the Advocate finally printed one of my humor articles again. And not only that, they even put it on the web for once. But am I satisfied? No, of course not. I'm wondering whether my next article will be in tomorrow, irked that I wasn't run for two months and haven't been paid for the two months before that, and still despairing about the future.

Although to be fair, it's such small potatoes in the future-despair world that it's almost not worth mentioning. I mean, writing-wise, it's one of my lower profile and less lucrative gigs, not to mention that there are plenty of great reasons to despair about the future that aren't even based on writing. Come to think of it, the Advocate really doesn't make me despair at all, it just makes me mildly irked for short bursts of time until I realize that the whole thing is very piddly.

I need to walk more. Anyone want to join me for a walk on Friday evening?
