I work contract. I work 9-5 and I get as much done as I can. If that means missing a client deadline, it means missing a deadline. They should have planned ahead, and it’s simply not my problem. If that means losing a client, I’ll have another one tomorrow. I won’t, however, be able to repair damage to my personal life or relationships if I constantly allow my schedule to be dictated by clients - been there, done that, burned out, never again. I’m simply not desperate enough for money to work as a slave, and I’m not foolish enough to act as though I am.
