Upon reentering freelancer world: my solemn promise...

In with all the emails this morning were a couple from a web client. One was an invitation to a group dinner (Yay! My clients often keep on loving me even after we're finished with their projects,) and the other was a forwarded email with a personal note attached:

"Don't take freelancing too far!"

The subject and message that had been originally included with the photo:

Subject: Employee of the Month!!!!!!!!

It's a good thing we don't have laptops!!!

Dear All,
This is the level of dedication we expect from all staff!!!
Employee of the Month
From,

Management

 

Yea, I work a lot of weird hours, sometimes even in weird places. But no. I won't handle your requests on my most personal of private times. Promise...
