2+ jobs. Again.
A couple of days ago, I was thinking that this freelance job was an answer to prayer. It still may be that, but it’s also just as possible that it’s from the devil. Here’s what I mean.
Yesterday I had the first meeting with JL. We’ve worked together before, back in the day when I was the client and he was working for a different online learning provider. I actually don’t recognize him, but I think that’s because he was part of the team the JZ had working on my project and I mostly just interacted with JZ.
Anyway, he’s pretty uptight about impending deadlines on this project, because he left a lot of stuff to the last minute. (Let’s not forget that I only came on the project at 10 pm Monday night.)
I worked on the bloody thing until midnight, wrapping myself around the axle of trying to figure out what they meant to teach in several places.
I have a client conference call this morning at 8:00. And JL is pushing that he wants them to start reviewing on Friday but he’s going to be “out of pocket” most of Thursday.
I didn’t sleep all that well.
Partly because of the excitment of starting a new project.
Partly because of the stress.
Partly because of two dogs and a boy getting up in the middle of the night to eat and go outside (the dogs, not the boy.)
I also met with KE from SAPLC yesterday and have a meeting with some of the choir directors scheduled for Monday. Finally going to have a meeting with PG on Friday.
All that combined with the music clinic and the fact that I’m not done with my job at GC!!!
Good thing this extra job is done on Monday. Part of me is already feeling like the old overwhelmed person who is trying to do everything to make everyone else happy at the expense of what she needs and wants. I need to have a heart-to-heart talk with the boys again about home-keeping being a team sport.
Of course there’s lots to be thankful for in the midst of this stress. I’ll be able to pay bills one more month and there’s a possibility of chunks of work like this coming at me in the future which will make it possible to stay afloat. For that I am truly thankful.
