Don't forget to add

Nigel - nervous breakdown, friendship roont.

Actually just change it to what Roger's is except instead of "friends moved away" it's "unrequited love for best friend resulting in crushed heart when best friend's wife moves back in, nervous breakdown ensues"

And also "Owes magazine $1400 for ads".

Just came down with an explosive case of shitting that can only be described as rectal bulimia.

I've noticed that the uncontrollable crying is a little less jagged without alcohol, so the sobriety thing might really work out for me.

Is it a coincidence that I come down with a case of rectal bulimia whilst reading a post named Official February Shit List Thread

Not normally!

In 2007 I grossed 117k, netted 19k after paying all deductible expenses, which honestly was fucking awesome because that even covered my full-time assistant and childcare.

It's just that the combination of trying to come back from going part-time in 2008, and trying to cover all the household expenses after my  husband left, and the economy tanking, has left me marginal.

I'm coming out of it. It's not impossible to grow a business, even in a recession. I wish I was more energized and motivated right now, though, because what I need to be doing is producing exceptional work and submitting it to museums, magazines, galleries, etc. because the key to thriving in this business is getting published, getting sponsorships, getting your name out there. I have one very small sponsorship right now, but I could have had dozens more, and I missed two crucial submissions last year that could have really helped me.

In a perfect world, I'll someday have a partner who can do the full-time assistant thing, and I'll be able to support the household on my income because they'll handle all that other stuff so I can spend more time in the studio. I paid my assistant $35k/year, so if I had a live-in partner handling everything, I should easily be able to get back to that point and make a good living, and pay less in taxes too. Plus my house is paid off in only 14 more years...

Ah, daydreams.

Oh, and the reason I owe so much is that they have a bunch of publications, and somehow I managed to be in three of them in December, and then the Spring "Beads" issue is already billed.  :roll: So that's four months of advertising all at once. I'm going to ask my rep for a print schedule so this never happens again.

The good news is that I pull all ads in summer, so I should get caught up by then.

Then they can wait 4 months for full payment, the bastards.
