Hey!
I have not been blogging, it's true, Radio Userland continues to deny my existence when I attempt to log on from home. I am actually impressed by their outright refusal to even respond to my queries; if they were to read my blog, though, they would see that I am not afraid to play hardball.
The exciting update to last week's shenanigans is this:
It is possible to get a raise after you've been laid off.
The email I sent to our COO has proven to be the most valuable piece of writing I have done to date (although I fully expect to receive $7K from NYFA in April since I applied with an excerpt from a play which is, after all, the best play written in many, many years in any language) I cannot give you the exact figures because I don't want you all at my door begging for handouts (keep in mind, my debt still will outweigh my assets four-fold after I have rec'd my entire severence package), but I will say that my insolent demand/plea for more money convinced the powers that be to increase my overall payout by approximately 33%. Not bad for a 10-minute, partially drug-induced ranting email, eh? Should I ask for another or would that be pushing it?
Meanwhile our external auditors have been in the office all week, and between them running me around willy nilly searching up invoices and explaining figures I don't understand, and Trudiss calling me several times a day from the other side of the Atlantic to ask excruciatingly misguided questions about certain aspects of certain thingamajigs, plus what with me coming into work late and hungover every day, I simply haven't had any time to write from work.
My good friend Heathcliff had some sports-names he would like to have but I have forgotten them; and now I ask the general public: What names of sports figures or celebrities would you like to have for you? And you would still be exactly who you are, and look the same, and all that. So share, please.
Love
Monty
