Other Dec 22, 2018

December has been an average month so far, if I except the last days of this week when suddenly some customers realized that Christmas was at the door and the workload increased like crazy, but now that is over and I expect the remaining of the month to be quiet…

Merry Christmas to you all!

I took off a month starting in mid-November, but my clients came back on the day the month was over and now I have a big job due next week.

Fluctuating more than usual Dec 22, 2018

I was free in the beginning of this week, so I used that time for doing paperwork, household chores, working out etc. Because I knew it won't be long Bingo! Now I'm loaded like a mule, but at least I won't be broke after Christmas

The volumes usually decrease in December, of course. But I managed to keep it in the average.

Less by choice Dec 22, 2018

My workload is much less, by choice. But, had I accepted all the jobs that I was offered this month, I would have needed 72 hours long days to finish them all!
With the school exams and mid-year holidays looming ahead, I had to accept less volumes than usual.
