Payin' the Bills

I've designed a life wherein I can Make Money From Home. No, it's not a Pyramid Scheme, but it's the consulting service I developed, which can be done by phone. Potential clients call me, and once they've wrapped their brains around the concept, they see how it works.

Hey, it's better than an office gig. Something to do between performances.

THE JOB. But with an office job you get paid every week, get insurance, get free coffee in the company kitchen. The occasional muffin basket after a conference meeting is done.



Here I have to scare up the clients myself, which can lead to some p-r-e-t-t-y thin weeks. Like this one. I also teach singing -- and right now I was waiting for a student to show up. Still waiting. Still waiting. Oy.

I saved a little nest egg a month ago (granted a small, fragile egg - maybe Egg Beaters) and then I turned around and it was gone. How did it happen? It's wonderful when income Comes In - but it blows when it BLOWS OUT.

Eh. It'll come around again. I'll just go sit on another egg.
