Still Swamped
Work has been crazy for the past few days. Last night, I pulled an all-nightner to catch up on my freelance projects. The beautiful snowing scene outside and the hot jazz from Dextor Gordon inspired me to stay up to work. I thought I wouldn’t have to go to work the next day, but there was not even a delay.
Here at work, there are so many projects that I need to do so I don’t even need coffee to stay awake. It sounds scary, but I am working around the clock. The only time I get a break is when I am with Duke, which is about two to three hours before he goes to bed. After heading home from work, I played with him, fed him, bathed him and sent off to bed with mommy. I powered up my laptop and got to work again.
I am not complain though. In fact, I am glad to be able to stay busy in this economy. Many friends and family members are losing their jobs and are collecting unemployment. Finding a job these days is not easy anymore.
That’s rough, man. It has been similar for me. I look forward to that evening routine with Kate and Eileen. If I have energy to work on some weeknight, I have to consider how that will affect the next day. It’s hard to forfeit the creative inspiration, but sometimes I just go to bed because I know the next day will be awful if I don’t. Then, of course, I fall behind on project goals.
How’s going, man? Setting up your own office yet?
