she weebles, she wobbles, she don't fall down

I officially took the job today - the freelance rate I got for the cover stories is decent but the editor tried to backpedal a little (well, if you work on any of those stories during your regular paid work week ...) but I reminded her that this extra money was part of the reason why I decided to take the job and then she backpedaled again, but this time more in my direction.

GB overheard the phone conversation and told me he was proud of me for remaining firm on that. I hope it doesn't become an issue - this editor has a bit of a history of trying to test my pushover-ness but, as GB pointed out, they called me for this job so I have a teensy bit of ground upon which to stand. And standing I am, it's a bit of a wobbly, nervous stance, but I'm determined to be an adult with moderately healthy self-esteem...or at least someone who plays one in the paper...
