Where did that week go?

Last Monday the coming week seemed so rich and fat. Plenty of opportunities for completing projects and starting new ones. The promise of it seemed almost limitless. Friday's here and it ended up being like all the other weeks. Not so much accomplished but what I did do moved all the projects forward a little bit. It all ended up being a bit more messy than it appeared to be on Monday. Who knew jobs that I thought were gone would come back for yet more revisions. Or that a customer would want me to dig into the archives to resurrect some long lost file so they can use it again. Such unlooked for labours rarely figure in one's Monday plans yet when you look at them from the standpoint of Friday the week was littered with them. I'm not a lawyer so it is difficult to charge for many of these things. Freelancers should not have to suck those things up though. Perhaps I take on too much.

I will look on the bright side; a few jobs did leave my desk this week, never to return or be referred to again except only on an invoice. Yeay, money.
