Today, I have thought how nice it would be to be able to exclude the snowballing number of threads about polls from the recent posts view.

No work to do - not by design May 16, 2020

This Saturday I have no work to do at all and it’s not intentionally, it’s because of the Coronavirus. When things are normal, sometimes I take weekends off, sometimes I don’t, it all depends on the amount of work I have. I find that on Saturdays and Sundays I can work without distractions but work has been scarce for the last three weeks…

10 shirts to iron. Takes hours. But it is an opportunity to listen to some good music, in depth.

I have work to do, and it was planned ahead May 16, 2020

But "by design" is kinda "ugly" in this case.

Far too much work to do May 16, 2020

My dear clients seem to have spent the last month composing nice long jobs for me and they have all crept out of their shells at the same time.

Call it divine alignment 🤔 but over the past few months I’ve had the luxury of having the weekends off. It wasn’t always that way, seems it was the other way around until January of this year.

On Saturday, I did finish off something urgent (took about an hour, was finished by 10:30 am) but I do try to keep weekends free for recreation and family activities.

On another note, Yes, the work has decreased, as well as the quality of jobs, but I’m thankful to be wo

On another note, Yes, the work has decreased, as well as the quality of jobs, but I’m thankful to be working practically every (work) day.

Best Regards to all - we are the champions, my friends!

OTHER May 17, 2020

Where's the "other" option?

As it happens, I had a little work, as I have every day, in one client's online platform. Apart from that, this is the first weekend in months in which I didn't have any other work to do, unless you count the odd bit of admin. I'm looking forward to a quieter week workwise now, as the de-escalation of lockdown begins here and I have several other things I need to see to.
