canyonwalkerIt's been quiet this past week. It was only a four day work week, which was nice. After we took it easy at home on Monday (definitely a good idea to return from our vacation a day "early" to have a rest day) things were pretty slow at work Tuesday-Friday.
Several of the clients I'm working with advised me before break that they'd plan to pick things back up January 8. Did that mean they were all taking vacations the first week of January, I wondered. Or were their companies doing two-week shutdowns? A colleague offered a third hypothesis the other day: Schools in California are not in session until tomorrow so our clientele, who are largely work-from-home professionals, were probably figuring they'd be too distracted to do any real work until the kids are out of the house again.
So, tomorrow's when the pace should start to pick up again. Given how everything has been seemingly on pause for a few weeks I'm now worried that everything will suddenly be go-go-go tomorrow. If suddenly every project is moved up to the front burner and everyone expects to see prompt progress, it'll be like all hell breaking loose.
