COMING up with something to blog about every day is often somewhat of a challenge. Life isn’t always inspiring, and some days are even ‘pretty standard’, so the subject of today’s blog comes from my friend Theresa.
“Why not write something about it being hump day and how we’re now over the ‘hump’ of the week?”
Well she’s right, we are over the ‘hump’ of the week..Friday can only get closer now! She also pointed out that I should perhaps look at that from the point of a freelancer - me.
It’s an interesting point. When you work for yourself, I’m not sure there is ever really a beginning, middle or end of the week. There’s always the days when Erin’s at nursery and I am working constantly from the moment she’s dropped off, till the moment she’s picked up, so in a way that is my working week.
But I’m never really off-duty.
I used to be very particular in my old job. Despite working long hours - and often still being found there at 6.45pm on a Friday night because the Post needed a quote for the next day that someone internally just wasn’t prepared to give - when I went home, I went home.
My job now is amazing. I love it! No politics, no being dragged into the latest saga of the day, or listening to the conspiracy theories about what was happening in the boss’ office, and whether anyone was getting sacked next week or not. I get all the best bits of my job, without the rubbish.
However, this does mean that however knee deep in nappies I am, or however far away in the world I might be, I’ll always pick up my emails.
Let us not forget, I am the woman who was still attempting to sort out approvals for a press release while in labour, and was still on the phone to the Post while having my stitches done. For some reason, it’s hard to let go!
I think what I’m trying to say is, I don’t really have a hump day..perhaps just a minor pimple!
