Hunting The Muse

Deadlines

Monday: Curt demonstrates software revisions to Client A, promises it be done by a week from Thursday.

Tuesday: Curt's server (with customers) crashes due to a webhost-provider error. Tuesday is shot.

Wednesday: Client B comes up with several extremely hot deadlines for the following Wednesday. Curt works on webhost server. Wednesday is shot.

Thursday: Curt's server is mostly up, Curt goes in all day to Client B, then takes a break Thursday night due to stress from previous two nights (working straight for two days). Thursday is shot.

Friday: Another full day at Client B, important social engagement Friday night. Workload for Client B grows, Curt pushes back. Friday is shot.

Project due Wednesday, project due Thursday, struggling to not cancel social engagements. I'll make them, but man. Justification for higher short-notice rates? Posted by Curt at February 7, 2003 04:13 PM
