Between a rock and a hard place.

Well... It's never easy to approach money stuff with friends... and when you work with friends it's even harder. I am having to be bolder than I like at the risk of losing opportunities today. I need to get paid for something I worked my ass off doing. I did it well, I did everything and more... I spent money out of pocket to do it. I kinda seriously need to get paid. The coffers are already low from the gimp arm losing me shifts and costing me for acupuncture and chiropractic care. Today I kinda long for the days of having a bunch of the ol' realtor commission money in the bank so I could just go do the job I wanted without having to be wiggy about not getting paid. Oh man... I hate this. I know there is a good side to saying your truth and asking for what you are due... but it ain't easy. If anyone has any advice... I need to hear it.
