How come days off never work out they way you expected?
I decided to work hard this week for 4 days and then take Friday off.
So Monday I worked from 8-10 in my office, then went to a client and got home at 6 before leaving for a meeting at 7 to get home at 10:30PM
Tuesday I worked for about 2 hours then played Need for Speed Underground for about 4 hours then took the kids to the beach and out for dinner.
Wednesday I left home at 7:30 and got home at 9PM - big day
Thursday I left at 7:30 and finished at my clients by 11AM so I went and had lunch with a friend. During lunch a client from 2 years ago called - just happened to be 200m up the road from the cafe I was in so I went up to meet the new person there who might give me some work later. While I was at the first client the boss of one of my other client's husbands rang up to offer me some work becuase he had heard about me from her husband. That was cool - I shall take her to lunch for a reward!
Then I finally got home at about 4PM
Today was supposed to be a day off, but already I have had to do 2 hours of accounting work for my business and then received an email and a phone call from another client asking me to redo some work because they changed their mind on what they wanted. This is good because it is now way more complicated and will cost them more. I will do that next week.
So now I have finally finished work for today and I can have the rest of the aftenoon off to play with the kids. Hurray
On another note - the Belly Blog lady has finally had the baby - hurray for her!
