Might as well be!

I am more than full time busy and all my hours are billable. That might seem great, except I think my clients are getting a deal because I'm not recording all my time. It's too easy to just come in here on off times and do 30 minutes of work here and there. Yesterday, a client called at 5:00 and said is this a good time? Felt like 3:00 to me. I was like, sure! And next thing you know I'm setting up a meeting with screen share (hang on, it'll just take a minute!) and next thing I know it's 7:30.

Well, I did write that time down because when I ended the meeting it told me 2.5 hours, so I got that going for me. A couple of weekends ago I worked 22 hours on the weekend. And only a few of those hours was on Saturday. Counting my blessings though. At least I get a full paycheck.
