I was supposed to write something quite fun (at least for me) but got really distracted by the fact that a major client decided to cancel our project halfway through. So I decided to park that idea maybe for tomorrow or Tuesday.
I am not bothered because I knew the nature of the project right from the start. I went in knowing it would be a rough ride and by playing my own devil's advocate, I managed to detach myself from it. Thankfully I did. More importantly, this is one of those rare times (bad practice alert, lol) that I put in a kill fee in the contract. It's not an uncommon practice to include this clause, yet when it finally gets implemented, it just feels... strange. I am strangely relieved like a weight was taken off my chest.
The point of this entry is to just let it out that I am not sure what I'm going to do next. I'm still pretty packed, but now a huge chunk of my daily calendar is 'empty' until the end of March. 2-3 hours tops per day. Weekends not included. So this is how it feels like to be a slave of my own calendar, scrambling around to find what else to do since I already mapped out the next two weeks. I'm really disoriented right now, but I guess this is life's way of telling me to calm down a bit and maybe try something new.
