2025/11/05: September

there was this week in September

where I got nothing coming in at all

yet I turned down 3 tasks

i was not comfortable handling

*

due to reasons like

unprepared for pre-edited tasks by AI,

unfamiliar scope, tight deadline etc..

*

these reasons might seem like

burying my head in the sand

*

but sometimes

i just have to listen to this gut feeling

no! this is not for you

even though you need the dough

*

things got better towards the end of the month

thank goodness

*

in fact I tried to turn down another task

and this project manager I have known for some time

encouraged me to give it a try

i was given the privilege to take a look

before accepting the task

yes sometimes we don’t

*

i am a part-timer who works

30-50 hours per month

not per week

good luck!!!
