Hey there!
Well, yesterday was an annoying day. School holidays start today for two weeks and I was planning to work a couple of days (which my boss was all fine with) and the rest of the time maybe relax a little, especially since last school holidays were so busy because I had four editing jobs!
However, when I arrived at work yesterday morning, there was an email from a client who originally had contacted us about editing her thesis back in February. She decided to send me the file just then, presumably because she'd only just finished it, and said, 'Oh, by the way, I need it back by the 8th of April at the latest, because I've got a deadline.' Usually we give our clients a minimum of three weeks' turnaround time. My boss asked me if I wanted to give the job to someone else, but although I do have another editing job to do for her, that one isn't due for a few weeks and I've nearly finished it anyway, so I said I could do both.
However, I'd forgotten that I'd spoken to another woman weeks ago about doing a private editing job for her. She was supposed to have sent it to me at the beginning of this week, but no, it was on my email when I got home from work! I had to email back and beg her to wait a little longer for it, as I'd originally told her I would have it back to within three weeks. No way that's going to happen with this other editing job AND school holidays at the same time. I had another guy contact me this week about another editing job but I told him there was no way I could do it until after the school holidays (thankfully) but now I've got to try and do both these edits, while still not forgetting the other one I'm already working on. If that guy tells me he needs it earlier I'm in trouble.
Other than that, today's Good Friday and I'm determined to take it easy, at least a little!
Sarah - We don't usually do much for Easter, except go to church. We're going to my in-laws' church this afternoon and we'll be doing something with our church family on Easter Sunday. Hope you get rid of a lot in the yard sale! By the way, did you see the post at HH Sisters on Facebook about Allegiant? Apparently they've made major changes that have upset a lot of people. I'd like to know what those changes were, as I'm not surprised they changed it a lot, given how terrible it was. But it sounds like they've made it worse.
