anyone back in work?

Only actually had Christmas day off as I landed a rush job that I need to finish by the 5th Jan, so I probably wont see New Years either.

FIts in with our plans nicely, this year Christmas was all about the grandkids and the Mrs and I will disapear for a weekend treat later on in the month

Had a meeting with a customer for a couple of hours this morning and have just finished 3 hours in the office - now off to have a glass of wine ! Tomorrow is day off to take my hubby shopping (!), Friday work, then not sure.

But back bright and early on Tuesday for the Street 4N meeting - getting withdrawal symptoms already so really looking forward to it.!

Yep. Had phone meeting with customer yesterday and started work on a new commission. So lots of writing today plus maintenance.....updating website and drafting comedy newsletter....trying to treat this week as a full work week...

nope chillin, playing games, seeing friends. Most suppliers closed, most trades not working and most clients are away. Couple of emails to do and half hours vat to sort. Not back until the 5th

'fraid so - 3000 words today on an e-learning module for a large bank.

Riveting!

I'm back in work planning for my jewellery but don't have any orders right now to complete.

I do have to go back to work at the supermarket tomorrow. Was supposed to be in today but woke up with a massive migraine.

Yup, Discovered a 'timer' app for iPhone this morning which am using to discipline myself to deliver all the things I promised in that 'time between Christmas and New Year' which has almost disappeared in sleep, singing and fiddling about.

An actual client day tomorrow, which involves getting out of bed before 7am.

Same answer from me as ever. I love what I do, no distinction between work and play really, so making phone calls, doing a bit of writing, watching a bit of tv, going to the pictures with the boys etc.

I have been pottering about on and off all week - on Christmas Day I sat there with a huge pad and a pen jotting down ideas for my re-brand, I have done a spot of housework (this is always a work in progress), caught up with friends on skype, played a few games of Zuma Blitz and tended my empire on Top Tycoon on Facebook. Pottering about mainly, having fun and planning for 2011.

Ive done quite a bit of work over the holidays, mainly catching up on paperwork due to losing a week in hospital pre-xmas.

Iphone emails make this a million times easier though

How are you feeling now Paul?

Been "back" since the 27th; taking advantage of the fact most other people are still in Xmas mode and therefore the phones etc are quiet. Mostly client stuff, with some prep for a few big things I'm cooking up for 2011 as well as a revamp of my site and prepping for the 1st anniversary of Mimo

Shot a few people in the head in BFBC2 (best game of 2010 by a long way!).

Aside from that I'm actually having to make a plan of sorts *shock horror*

Been flat on my back with 'flu (and for once not the man strain) since Christmas Eve. And yet in my bedridden state, it gave me the space to think about how I might better go about marketing my practice in 2011 - the resultant plan has the potential to double or triple my earning potential. And all because I changed ONE thing.

This UK illness of working the highest number of hours in Europe has become a mentality. Worked all year. Worked and worked some more. Forced to stop. Had a brainwave. Changed one thing. Eureka!

And there was I feeling guilty when I took the odd Sunday afternoon off.

It's like training for sport; the hard work is important but the rest period is paramount.

So, not been back to work but actually achieved far more.
