What I make time for

My sincerest apologies.  I really only have time for customer support, work that pays reasonable RL rates, lovers, and RL family.  However, let's talk if you are one of the following:
  • an RL headhunter
  • an RL book publisher/agent
  • an obscenely rich uncle who's about to croak and who insists on leaving me his entire fortune (well, you never know.... it's worth a try....  ;)   )
