Melina Bueller's day off

Even though it's tempting to fret about the lack of income, I'm secretly kind of glad that I'm not needed back at the ad agency until Wednesday afternoon. This is due to slacker clients (federal employees) not returning their copy comments to the agency on the specified date. Current ETA is Wednesday am.

Tomorrow/Tuesday I can sleep until 10 am, ride my motorcycle, do a few home repairs, eBay a couple of things, wax my legs, and enjoy the weather in true Ferdinand the Heifer fashion.

My return to the Snoopy Borg is scheduled for next week. Although I had hopes of a counter-offer from the ad agency, I don't see it coming through. The client in question needs a writer for business to business stuff, and although I've done tech writing, the senior creatives (the flip-flop wearers) don't seem to really know what sort of writer they need.

Earlier today, I sent them a link to the BI (business intelligence) and data analytics white papers I've edited during the past few years as they're now available for download. I haven't received any response. I fear they may not understand the content of the papers, so this could possibly backfire.

But things can change overnight. They do all the time. Perhaps my ad agency re-entry is destined for a few months down the road. In the meantime, the Snoopy Borg will pay the rent and I may even get an opportunity to torment PD*. Payback's a bitch, innit?
