Too much to expect crystal clear waters of full transparency

THIS is my second week writing this column and I need some advice. I’m wondering whether it’s too late to open negotiations with the editor of this fine newspaper regarding my “package”.

I know that your first day is your best and all that, and I should have acted on this before ever putting pen to paper, but I can’t get rid of that feeling that I’ve short changed myself.

I look back now with some regret on the negotiations that took place for me to take over this Friday slot. Clearly reader, I played hard to get, a girl has her pride. But in hindsight I didn’t play quite enough hardball.
