Another careful plan...
Jun. 16th, 2006 08:37 pmThe day brought a 17,000 word assignment, due after I leave for Russia. And that deadline becomes even less "informative" when you consider that Galina and I need to depart for Houston in sufficient time to get there to unload a truckload of stuff and get ready for my trip.
At 3,000 words per day, the document ought to be complete after 6 days of work, giving me a three day margin for rest, rehabilitation, and packing, and not much of a margin for accepting any additional work.
Details of the "move" (we're not moving the whole household) are medium-sharp in my mind; I'll probably spend some time crystallizing them in my LJ this weekend.
The main thing, though, is that I need to buckle down and deal with the new assignment in a workmanlike manner, and clean my plate of all outstanding work next week.
Cheers...
