June 12: I decide I’m not taking any more free lance work on this summer. I have two donated time projects I’ve been wanting to finish, three web aps I’d like to write for myself and two blogs to skin.
June 14: One of my regulars calls and asks me just to “put up an under construction notice” and re-do their site.
June 17: One of my other regulars emails to let me know they’re flying someone in to ‘revisit’ their site.
June 18: I ask for an extra week of vacation from my full time day job and consider raising my hourly rate.

I have lots to say but trouble finding the time and words to say it.
Blog posts I hope to make in the next two weeks:
- Taking credit where credit is due – in response to a discussion about women in IT at zeldman.com.
- My thoughts on the hiring process and the job market and why I do what I do where I do for the pay I get.
- Some of the steps we’re taking to convert our templates from tables within tables within tables to just… one table, well it’s an improvement.
- Highlights of our presentation at CADE and my thoughts on the rest of the conference.
Until then, if you think of yourself as a web designer – go take A List Apart’s Web Designer survey.

Well, outside of my day job I’m:
- making my Mum a website
- moving hosting servers for digitalphoenix.ca
- learning cgi so I can create an auto generated thank you message for HOPE’s donors
- taking Mandarin (what was I thinking?)
