Each day is unique. Despite best intentions and truly good planning, I must set aside plans to wait for bonuses and only complete gigs later in August. Just now, I cannot wait for bonuses because an expense that someone else should be paying *growl, snarl, menace, and otherwise express displeasure* has somehow become my responsibility. This should not be, but the alternative is to shirk a responsibility to enforce safety for something. I will not risk an expensive liability for that. I do not have enough vocal power to work extra shifts at my talking head job, so I must complete some gigs in order to assure a specific amount of money. With luck, I can get the one gig that is properly paid. This makes it possible to complete just two other teeny, quick gigs which fit neatly into available time and space.The three combined would cost little to perform and generate hundreds in profit. If unlucky, I will have to complete numerous shops that are time-consuming and underpaid. Are you seeing the domino effect? All those gigs would cause me to lose sleep, accomplish nothing at home, and be the one who consistently meets someone else's responsibility by paying with time, money, sleep, and home comfort. Wish me luck! Lots and lots of luck!
