A Job Proposal

[Village Idiot]

They didn't offer to pay any expenses? Ask if they will pay expenses. Gas, food, and fuel should be pretty standard.

I asked and they said $300 paid upon publication. So if might not even get published and I would be out the money I paid out of pocket for expenses.

That's why I'm a little iffy. I'm going to ask for the contract before I agree to anything.

ohhh yeah so you can do it, submit it, have them not use it and your just out money, that is a bit of a downside.

And unfortunately, I declined. I couldn't see spending $200 or so out of pocket without the guarantee for reimbursement. I would have probably done it just for reimbursement as I'm getting paid to go on a nice ride, but with the chance that it might not even be published and I'd have to wait until 2011 to find out, I didn't think it was worth it.

Maybe I'll pull the bike out this weekend and take it for a spin. At least now, I can find parts at my leisure.
