kicked start April
as a really busy season
all the way until the very last week
they have been good to me
knowing that it was my birthday week
I almost had the whole week off
all the way until the long weekend
for Labour Day / Bank Holiday was over
i spent the long weekend
taking walks and naps
which I have missed during the peak season
new achievements unlocked:
(1) First project done with a proper timeline
as it was seriously under a really tight deadline
I drafted a planned timeline in Excel
then was lacking behind as
I took the first weekend off and
was dealing with other projects
therefore was split between
this major project and the rest
which were equally on tight deadlines
until i managed to catch up after
a night of staying up until 3 AM
i have not done that for long
my simple time tracking columns go:
- day # _
- planned words as of day # _
- time spent
- segments covered
- word count
out of those, I calculated:
- average word count per hour
- total word left
- average word to be covered daily
(2) The great feeling of
hitting the deadline right on time
it did happen before but somehow
11:59 PM on a Sunday is especially odd
yet not uncommon
was trying really hard to beat it
as missing the deadline means
you landed late on a next working week
it makes sense right?
and it felt like Cinderella
to submit the work by 11:55 PM
on a Sunday night
(3) My very first time
realizing the ideal freelancer’s life of
working in a café with a cup of coffee
technically speaking
that’s a fast food store instead of a café and
I had tea instead of coffee being intolerant
yet everyone idealizes that’s how
a freelancer should work
i have worked in the airport YES
i have worked in the plane YES
yet this is my very first time
being the ideal freelancer
simply because my Internet
back home was down
i dropped by the center to check out
and the person said it was still under repair
and they had received several reports too
well.. thank goodness it wasn’t my problem
yet as we were back home
hey look, the Internet was back in order
well….
(4) The highest monthly sale ever
it was way above my rough estimation
hard work does pay
yet i wasn’t in mood for a self reward
although i had a valid excuse since
it was my birthday month
well…
getting used to the life of
being a grown-up
