started work after 10pm just now
and decided to call it a day by 1am
but first, let me do some blogging
it has been a quiet day
that was why I was blogging about Liu Wen
in broad day light and
doing some flight ticket research as well
until 4pm there came a potential job
a press release of a concert event
something interesting to me
yet it was soon called off
quite a familiar thingy for us
therefore basically had spent 2 days
without any billable work at all
so even if work comes in after 10pm
and it’s due next Monday
decided to stay up and
managed to complete 2/3 of it
thank goodness
I have learnt the trick
do check your email on Friday night
because you will never know
and guess what
another potential job came in at 12:25am
that’s due to different time zone
however since it’s labeled as potential
chances are 50/50
and there I go
officially sailing into the weekend
neither too busy nor too idle
with capacity to take in more
anything is welcomed, of course
you do get job on Sunday morning
rare, but yeah
anything for the clients
ever since I become a freelancer
the demarcation between
weekend and weekday is
basically quite blurred
the good thing is
I never ever have to suffer from Monday blue
in fact, Monday is something to look forward to
if the workload over the weekend is pretty tight
eg: last week,
3 different projects due on Monday morning
Monday is more like my weekend
as everything is delivered by Monday morning
and there tends to be a small gap in between as
massive project usually doesn’t
come in on a Monday
the bad thing is
I somehow feel guilty and redundant
if I do not get any projects for the weekend
as if the whole freelance thing is
no longer sustainable till the next Monday
that kind of insecurity is just eerie
but as I have chosen the path
the choice is mine
on how to pace my work well
under the precondition that..
well..
of course client’s deadline is everything
two days ago
I was accompanying my 3 year-old nephew at play
while working on a non-urgent piece
he tried to close my laptop and
joined him at play so I did
while still working on
then suddenly something urgent came in
like the client needed it in one hour
and it’s a proposal/presentation
which I can’t afford to risk on
any mistake or further delay
so I told my nephew
of course he couldn’t get it
and he was “forcefully removed from the scene”
so that I could concentrate
that’s all for today
I am actually quite hungry since 11
all I had for dinner was some veggie soup
keep calm, and the diet plan must go on
going to bed with an empty stomach
a mind possessed with word-processing process
it’s gonna be tough to fall asleep
therefore the blogging session
just to take off the word-load off my mind
life is work
work is life
I love my work
I therefore love my life
despite it’s slightly upside-down right now
