Yes. Sep 2, 2016

If I don't meet my daily quote, I will make up for it Friday night. I have very understanding friends and I will let them know when I'm not available. Even though they all have 9-5 jobs, they know that freelancing is a different animal. However, the one day I won't touch is Sunday. In Latin American countries, that's the day dedicated to our families. I will do my utmost to never work during a Sunday.

If I have to... Sep 2, 2016

Tonight I probably won't be doing any work although a transcription job did come in but it's not due until 9am London time on Monday. Either way I will begin working on it tomorrow and hand it in by Sunday. If I had a project to work on which I needed to hand in tomorrow then yes, I would absolutely be working, otherwise, no.

What a collection... Sep 3, 2016

One more question about "not working" in some specific day or period! The number of excuses not to work people seem to be trying to find here is amazing! As far as I remember, people want to take days off on Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, their birthday, their kids's and wives' birthdays, days when special events or disasters happen, when the internet is out, and even bad weather! you better be playing in all the lotteries!
