It's why they call it "Labor Day"...

alexpgpLooking forward to a sort of laid-back Labor Day—rife with the possibility of perhaps breaking bread with the kids later in the day—I put something of a dent yesterday in a job due in my client's inbox by 9 am tomorrow.
This morning's inbox presented me with four new assignments (one of which was a shortie and is gone now), massing around 10,000 source words overall. No due date has been specified, other than the implicitly understood "as soon as reasonably possible."
Any psychic "pressure" I might feel about having that much work outstanding is balanced nicely by the fact that the work is there, and by the fact that I ought to be able to deal with the material in an expeditious and workmanlike manner.
But not necessarily today. Certainly not for the bulk of the work.
Cheers...
