It’s official. Time is getting short. Weekends where I end up with an absurd number of deadlines are starting to increase, and this upcoming weekend is becoming one of those times when I think “Right- that’s definitely the most I can cope with”- and then another heap of reviews and reports arrive. It’s the peril of being a freelancer, particularly in the run-up to Christmas– you just can’t afford to say no.

The good news is that I’ll be earning plenty of money. The bad news is that I may get a vague chance to slow down next Monday afternoon- just before I have to depart on another two-day burst of subbing.

I’m officially looking forward to Christmas, if only for the chance to not have to do anything for a little while…

(Tick tock, tick tock…)
