Thursday evening before the 4th weekend a client decides they want a document turned by Monday. I canceled plans I was looking forward to and spent the holiday weekend working. Will they look at it Monday? Probably not. Do they need it this week at all? Probably not.
I don’t hate the job most of the time, but I find it hard to look forward to things when I know there’s a 50% chance I’ll have to cancel at a moments notice. I know I’m paid for availability but this one stings more for some reason.
