Feast or Famine
Right, so I'm a freelance web designer in case you aren't up to speed.
Last month I logged about 40 hours of work. This is SO not enough to live on but it made for a pretty lovely and enjoyable month of Doing Whatever the Heck I Wanted.
This month it is only the 3rd day, only Wednesday. But so far this week I have logged 31 hours of work. This is MORE than enough to live on. But it's only the 3rd day, the 3rd day in what I am promised is a few weeks of insane overflow work coming my way via a company that I Love. I think I am already Losing My Mind. I'm not complaining, work must happen, just somehow, with this kind work it's so very frequently all or nothing and that is Challenging.
I hope I don't lose my mind. I also hope that my ass doesn't get stuck to the chair or that I turn into a hunchback or that all the muscles except the ones in my fingers atrophy or that I grow even huger wrinkles between my eyebrows from my habit of still squinting at the monitor even though it's now Huge or that I forget how to talk to any other real people besides my coffee suppliers.
Lord have mercy.

Am writing this by way of needing a workbreak in a day where I needed plenty of mini workbreaks because this particular part of designing a website - creating the Info Architecture and Wireframing it out - makes my head spin in counterclockwise circles. It can be incredibly satisfying to channel copious amounts of content into Easy Accessibility, but when the deadline is Yesterday it can be a little overwhelming.
-----
I took some super quick pictures of these talented men last week. Tough job but someone had to do it. Listen to their beautiful voices here.
-----
Ok, got to go figure out another Puzzle.
Til I need another break, I hope you all are living in the same kind of sunshine we are over here in Vancity. Happiness.
