DM's quest for work

[Drunk Monk]

I'm at 4 jobs again. 

I'm still getting a retainer fee for KungFuMagazine for social media and content providing. The social media is maybe an average of an hour a day. Content providing, well, that's writing and securing articles without a budget, so that takes as long as it takes. They pay me every two weeks.

I'm also still pitching pieces to Den of Geek. They just accepted another pitch of mine. They have 3 accepted in their queue. They pay me on a monthly basis and it always takes some sorting out. 

I'm still with Immortal. We've pretty much finished the first issue. I'm hoping they'll keep me on for the next one. They've talked about putting me on the board and offered me stock options. 

Now I'm doing some work for YMAA. I've started with acquisition reviews. I'm hoping that it'll blossom into something full time, but it's feeling a little like FBU. Or maybe I'm still stinging from how FBU went down. Fingers crossed though. I crave security and with this position, I think I can maintain the other jobs.

Between all 4 jobs, I'm working my ass off and not really making enough for our standard of living. I got back on EDD and they paid me once, but now it's all snarled up. EDD sent me a link and it was a dead link. Stacy's EDD has run out. 

I'm burning out. I'm finding the writing engaging, but it's a lot of writing - a lot - and it's making me blurry. Plus with the impending civil war after the elections, I'm starting to think I should just stockpile whiskey and nite cheese and hunker down in our bunker bungalow. Oh wait, that's what I've been doing for the last half year. 

Fuck 2020.
