Very pleased this morning; a friend told me that my blog had made her try and renegotiate two work contracts as her hours had gone up but money hadn’t. I don’t know how likely a pay rise is, but asking is important – after all, how will they know it’s not okay if she just keeps quiet?
I realised too that my blog is nearly a year old and that I should probably get round to doing a quick summary of all the good things that it has brought.
I finally got my copy of Hans Abbing’s ‘Why are Artists Poor?’ in the post. I have a feeling I should have read it years ago, but am quite hooked just a few pages in and feel some fresh conviction coming on…
