Proper days off When she heard that I was flying home on a Saturday a friend of my wifes response was Oh do they make you work on a Saturday. My head went numb as I struggled with who they might be, the idea of making me do something, and trying to remember what Saturday used to mean as compared to the rest of the week. The freelance life challenges many of our assumptions about work. It is unpredictable, has fuzzy edges, and there is no them telling you what to do. It calls on a steely nerve, for the times when work isnt coming in, and considerable self discipline to maintain a balance between work and non-work. Especially working from home the lines can get very blurred. Add to this the fact that I love what I do and there is a real risk of working all the time. I am aware that my photos on Facebook can give the impression that I am always having fun but thats because the bad bits are less photogenic! I climb hills and take the chance when I am here to do things with my family to really turn off my work head. To make sure that I have proper days off.
