Second and third wind...and often.

Quick note: I was averaging 50 hour work weeks the last four weeks, but if I take into account my research time that I exclude normally from accounting of hours, it was closer to 55 hour work weeks.

Excluding holiday (Christmas and NYE), and a 3-day sore back/neck from working nonstop, and the way deadlines came, I ended up doing 40-hours in three days, twice the last four weeks.

So needless to say, I've gotten my second and third wind many times in the last four weeks.

All this busy work makes one appreciate free time.  And I wouldn't trade the freedom of being an independent contractor, even if it means these crazy deadlines coming at the same time.
