Dear T: I am pleased I am inching closer to sticking to my principles in the face of unreasonable work requests. Like the lawyers who try to get me to do their jobs. Like refusing to do additional projects until they've paid me for the one I've already done. It's a good way to get me breathing room when they try to pressure me for more work. Everybody seems to get wanting to be paid. And I will do my best to avoid being taken advantage of in the future.
