Bandwidth Sucks!
For the life of me, I could not blog yesterday because I had trouble with all Google products all day long. Could not access my Gmail. Could not post. Could not even read my own blogspot.
All I could do yesterday was manage my torrent downloads that still keep on moving backwards instead of forwards...
But finally, I had the chance to work from the house in quite a while. Even had time to personally take care of my kids (which is equally rewarding as sufficiently compensated work), since the person I hired (their nanny for so many years) took a well-deserved holiday.
Anyway, I finally took the risk (or you may call it an "investment") of paying for a lifetime membership in our national bar association. For an advance payment of about 10 years worth of annual dues, you'll be rid of paying it yearly for life. I should have done this eons ago but other financial concerns got in the way (like my kids...).
Also, there's a certain status that comes with stating a life roll number in your pleadings than merely stating the receipt number (showing you just paid for the year). It seems to convey a statement that you've arrived. Well, at least for me, I most certainly hope so. Or at least, arriving very soon...
There's still a lot of work to do with my two most active clients. But make that three because things are again brewing up in my government consultancy. At the rate I'm going, I have to find a way of splitting myself into three (or four if you count my fatherly duties). But again, I'm not complaining. Better a lot of work than no work at all, I always say.
All in all, I say not bad for a first working week of the year. It's even a partial week since we all had the Monday off.
Happy weekend, everyone!
