Back to Work
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. My break was definitely a much needed rest. I actually attended a wedding on Thanksgiving with my family so the food was great. I slept in everyday from Thursday to Sunday, which was really nice. Overall, it was a good rest and helped clear my head. But it’s back to work now. A couple more weeks until Christmas!
Despite the Recession
I’ve actually gotten a lot more work this month. Well, there was a general uptick in work following the end of summer but I was little worried some of my clients would cut back in the face of a recession. And yes, I’m pretty sure we’re in a recession. I’m still worried about how it’ll affect me in a couple months, but we’ll see. Sorry, not much else to post about, I’ve been pretty busy. Have a good weekend!
Crazy Busy
It’s been nuts since Thanksgiving. Many of my clients decided to send me new work immediately after Thanksgiving. Not that it’s a bad thing, but it’s all coming at the same time and I’m having trouble meeting deadlines. Seems like everyone wants to get this stuff expensed before the tax year ends. I’m even working weekends! My sacred weekend!
Busy Week
What happens when you come back after a week of being sick? Backlog of work you need to catch up on. It’s been a busy week - glad it’s over.
Apparently Wishing Does Work
But be careful what you wish for. Two posts ago ago I was just talking about not getting enough new work and things slowing down in July. Well it seems in the past week, I’ve picked up 4 times more work than the entire month of June. I’ve started a long-term subcontracting relationship with a larger, corporate web development firm. My original plan didn’t really include all this freelance work but the money I bring in with this I can really use for other business development, so it’s good. Not to mention basic things like living expenses.
Nothing Much, Just Another Random Post
So there’s this small commercial area a block from my home, it’s got a few grocery stores, drugstores, and other small shops. There’s this corner store that ever since I could remember, businesses that got set up in that space always went out of business. A long time ago, it used to be this bagel place and that went out of business. Then up until recently, there was this exotic rug/material shop, which also ran out of business. But now there’s construction again and guess what, they’re opening a Dunkin Donuts!
