I drove an hour to the client site- arrived at 7:30 so I could knock out some stuff before the day got really started.

Manager emails me at 7:35 that he urgently needs me in the office for a few minutes before I go to the client site (we usually arrive at 8:30, so he didn't think I had left my apt).

Drove an hour back on his insistence, spent 5 minutes with the manager, then had to drive back to the client.

Oh and I forgot my wallet when I went out to lunch. This day sucks.

Haha yeah we called. It actually was important that I was in the office. It was just unlucky that I decided to be productive today

Though it's kinda funny that you guys immediately jumped to criticism. I wasn't trying to complain in my post, just illustrate my horrible luck today

Freelance rate for a :30 national broadcast spot script?

I’ve been working to an unhealthy degree lately. And I’ve been making the excuse that I have a lot of work right now, but I’m starting to wonder if I’m addicted to it. Part of it is anxiety and perfectionism. But my behavior is now actively harmful to myself and starting to harm my marriage.

How do I stop? I’m not talking work-life balance. I mean, how do I say, “I don’t care that the client wants this tomorrow and I’m not close to done, I’m going to sleep tonight”?

Should I wait until that promotion is offered to me? Or would it be dumb to apply for a Venture X card separately and a) hold both cards or b) close out the original Venture card.
