My job is a combination of "regular" day-to-day work from a steady freelance client along with large projects that pop up, make for a busy couple weeks, and then disappear for a few months. About a month ago, I accepted one large project and got a huge portion of it in all at once. I cleared out most of it, only to get offered another project. No problem, the first one was put to bed, so I could take on the second one. Well, due to some interestingness with the project, I ended up getting most of the first project back in my lap while the second one was coming in. The good news is that I work with some of the most amazing writers in the business and have totally awesome project managers to provide support every step of the way. Because of how awesome they are, I feel an above-and-beyond obligation to go the extra mile for them. That has meant working from 8 AM to 11 PM for multiple days in the past few weeks.
The good news--wrapped up the big project last night (or at least most of it). The better news--the second project is now coming in, and at a very reasonable pace with incredibly well-written and clean files. The best news--it will be a good payday once I get the invoices for those projects turned in, and I'm very satisfied with the work that I've done for them.
But, yeah, that's why no deep insightful blog this week. I'll try again next week!
