Aliens ate my blog

In all the gin joints, in all the servers, in all the net, you hadda come into mine.

Today in my life, one of the firms on which I depend for my poor struggling consultancy's livelihood is late with the cheque from the last invoice. They have a term for this. They call it 'managing our cash flow'. This, of course, is accountantese--it translates roughly as 'paying you late'. Also rather descriptive is the term 'screwing *your* cash flow'.

Grumble grumble grumble...

It could be worse. I could unemployed. As opposed to employed and not being paid.

Waitaminnit... which one of those did I say was worse again?
