Oxford University Press -oup
They are paying me Rs 15 per page for copyediting some silly hotel management book. Big names but they pay peanuts and get mediocre jobs done from graduaes, students/anybody who would take their cheap rates and follow the style sheets right 'oxford coma' n all and do the weeding.
Want ot finish this book before I go for the field trip to collect data for the project, with my linguistics class.
Got slight fever and cold, my matress is too thin to sleep on and I would lie cold all night, and stay in bed for extended time (till 8) since it is a little warm and me can rest ... can't believe I couldn't afford a thick mattress, last year I was fine with the ol mattress, guess I have grown am aging he he brother called up to ask my account number so that he may transfer money, I need it, I refused. Refusing the money right now is risking my MA degree, have been working for peanuts, payments get stuck (publishing houses pay after months opf getting the job done) and only 4 months left for the course to end, need time to study, and peace of mind. FOrtune recently befell the family, they won the court case, am happy for them. But they had snatched my basics rights from me as a child, have been very insensitive, and made me realise I have to look after myself, a great realisation, evryone has to take their own responsibility and suffer the pain if sickness comes, sooner u realise the better it is. Realisation dawned on me as a child, through the family and am thankful to all of them. Would have never understood the existentialist plight, would have never appreciated vipassana like I do, May they be happy, may all be happy...
