panic ...

last Saturday, we spent six hours or so putting together a proposal for the remake of a plc's web site, with no real expectation of anything coming of it. It was a real rush job for the guy who would be project managing a complete corporate rebrand if his team won the bid, and he was at pains to point out that it was all very speculative but, though I say so myself, we did a highly professional proposal - it had headers and footers and screenshots and everything. Today I hear that the team is down to a shortlist of two, and is to make a corporate presentation in London next Thursday, and they will need me there to do the web side of things [scream].

and today I bashed out another proposal for someone else, for YetMoreOfTheSame content management, weighing in at a bouncing £8k. And the contract for the Eye is signed and in. And the magnum opus site is still not finished, due to all sorts of political shenanigans.

I need to clone myself ...

Take deep breaths. It'll be fine. You wouldn't have so much on your plate if you weren't damn good at what you do!

Dead easy. Send the clone to Oxford Street. You stay at home and do the coding.

Well, if there's anything I can do in my "days off", even if it's just testing, do yell...

I have a meeting with the boss of a small printing company on Sunday. Looks like I'm going to be doing a small site for them and possibly more with some of their clients who occasionally ask for sites to be done. And the "magnum opus" I did as part of the current contract has been generating some favourable comment and possible leads for more work. Looks like I might not get as much time boating over the summer as I thought...
