I was like a cat on a hot tin roof. Which is to say: regretting my life choices but swiftly trying to be elsewhere. This case has been grating at my nerves. If I ever learned one thing in my 8 lives, it’s that if the client is willing to pay what you ask and doesn’t try to haggle, the job’l stink more than a pigsty behind a failed fish market.

Problem is, I never learned anything, and last week’s tuna is still tuna.
