One good thing about freelancing is you can say you suck to your boss. You don't depend on him for job security.

Well, you got what you paid for.

Assigned a story with a cool angle to a freelance reporter. It involved attending a certain single-day festival. Two hours *after the festival began* the stringer texts me: “Hey, I’m sorry but I’m not going to be able to make it” and then came the chaser: She had decided the story I proposed, on an assignment she accepted, wasn’t “impactful” anyway.I’m flabbergasted.

That ashy smell is of a bridge being burned.
