Chadtoberfest 40 Redux
So, as an update to my post on Chadtoberfest 40, I do know what I'll be doing for my birthday. . .
Working.
This month, I'm behind on bills, so I've been scrambling for more freelance work (my existing gaming-freelance gig and online game sales really won't be paying out much this month).
Managed to pick up another gaming-freelance gig -- which will be cool and fun, but I don't know when it'll pay out. And I have to hurry up and assemble information for the developers, ASAP.
Managed to pick up two pro-freelance gigs (that's at the day-job, standards editing rate) -- however, the first is a quick turnaround (4 days) and I receive the document on my birthday. The second job follows immediately on the heels of the first, and I've been told it's complex. Now, that'll all be good money... that I won't probably see until early- to mid-September, if I'm lucky.
Oh, and the day-job just got crazy-busy this week.
sigh. It could be a lot worse, and I hate feeling "gah" because I did manage to get work.
On the positive news front, this happened. :)
Thus, gah and yay war within me, because while really good things have happened for me so far, I'm looking down the the rest of the month working at speed on 4 different projects (2 of which are time sensitive), trying to spin the plates of the overdue bills for the next 30 days, without anything crashing and burninating all over me.
So it goes.
