Paid (Not)

I wrote an article recently for an engineering network. This is how one gets paid:

• The network notifies one of acceptance.
• Then they send a copyright form.
• One signs and returns the copyright form.
• Now one waits for notification of publication.
• Next, they send one a form to register as a supplier.
• One returns the registration form as hard copy.
• The network now arranges a telephone call.
• In this call, one confirms one's banking details.
• The network now arranges a purchase order.
• Then they send one an invoice to complete.
• One submits the invoice against the purchase order.
• Finally, one gets paid.

OBSERVATION: Or not. Is it worth it? There is another publisher who says, Thanks Thomas, accepted. Check your PayPal account will you? And that is it.
