Do you mean there was an upwards blip at the end of the second quartile?

Jobs transit! Aug 26, 2020

Things are going pretty slow these last 2 months for me. A big project in July and another in August saved my economies here!

Busy Aug 26, 2020

I was so quiet earlier in the year I enrolled for a Master's degree to give me something to do.

Guess what? The new course starts in a couple of weeks and I'm now busier than I've ever been.

Sigh.

There are a couple of potential qualifications I have been eyeing up for the past year or two, but I've held off because I feel in my bones that I would get blitzed with projects the moment I enrolled for either of them. That seems to be the way the universe works. The qualifications still make sense longer term, mind...

On a more immediate timescale, I finished a large project last weekend, started Monday with one small job on the horizon, and was looking forward to a quiet week. Two days and a flurry of urgent inquiries later, the original job still hasn't hoved into view but six other projects from five separate customers (including two that had been quiet for months) have appeared - all for delivery within a few days.

Now I'm grimly preparing for another long evening as I struggle to keep up with these new commitments. Self-inflicted to an extent, but turning down work in this environment is psychologically difficult.

Pretty full Aug 27, 2020

much to my suprise. I hope I'll be able to take at least a day off this weekend, haven't had any since the beginning of the month. But I don't complain at all.
