| well, I am thinking of dropping my most aggravating client | Dec 29, 2008 |
But I haven't quite resolved to do so yet. Other than that, being more on top of invoicing and dunning - same as everyone else it seems:)

| Be more structured | Dec 29, 2008 |
Learn to say no when the client makes unreasonable demands;
Remember I'm allowed a day off;
Clue up on my specialist subjects;
Purchase some of my preferred technical dictionaries in my specialist fields...
Oh... and remember that I have a home life as well as a work life!
Happy new year, everyone!

In a nutshell: Spend less, earn more, and save!
I am always looking for painless ways to save on business expenses. I recently had to buy a new phone for my office so I bought a dual landline/Skype phone and now I make all my landline calls through Skype. It will undoubtedly save me money. I also want to update my website and outsource more of the "easy" work so I can free up for the really heavy duty jobs.
Happy New Year everyone!

| 1. To quote for some jobs! | Dec 30, 2008 |
2. To gain an additional professional qualification.
I have been 'testing the water' for long enough!!
My teaching hours are down to 0.5, so I have time to get going on translation work.
I have a feeling 2009 could be interesting!!

It seems more and more likely that we will move to Asia next year.
Since the kids (does anybody know where it comes from?), I have been reluctant to move to new places. I love things to be the same, easy and comfortable, hate adapting. Though deep in me I believe our life, especially that of my children will be enriched; it is probably a chance for life to them.
I shall be busy packing up, sorting things out, getting new friends ...
