I just made my first appt. with a naturopath physician, I want to find out why I'm having skin and digestive problems and try to get it to stop happening. I've been to the derm. doctors twice now when my skin got really out of control with eczema/dermatitis and they just gave me a prescription cream and said to keep my skin moisturized. Since my skin keeps breaking out, there has to be a cause, and that is what I want to treat. I also want to see if my digestion problems are related. I see her next Thursday. Yay!

I am so tired of freelancing, and really really wanting a regular job again (one in particular!)

I never hear from the people I'm working for, that they got my stuff, that it was fine. Half the time, I don't hear back from one of the women when I have questions. I find out by way of gossip that they aren't happy with my rate, the one woman in particular who doesn't answer questions, but she never told me directly or negotiated a rate with me, despite her sending me a snippy email saying she always negotiates rates with freelancers. The snippy email was in response to a very nice email I sent saying I wasn't trying to be expensive and I would be happy to go to a lower rate that they are comfortable with.

And after she sent me the snippy email, I wrote back again really nicely, asking her what she thought about cutting $25 per hour off my rate, because I would rather keep working with her, and then she never wrote back.

And then there's the fact I have to fight to get paid. I only get paid once a month, and I received one check for january but not the other check I was expecting. I just called accounts payable, they don't have it in their system, so I had to write to the new admin girl to see if my invoice i submitted in January was ever processed. If it wasn't processed....gaaaaa.

Blah humbug.

Positive visualization: I get a phone call, with a job offer, in the salary range I told them. I accept the job offer. I am jumping up and down with excitement. I go to work on my first day, very excited.

I'm going to keep thinking about that.
