Spinning Some Silk

I‘ve been working on the web site for a local business. I can’t help feeling like I’ve bitten off just a little more than I can chew. It’s not that it’s a difficult site to build—after all, it’s based on the same code as this site.

Mostly it’s time.

You see, when I built this site, I hadn’t yet started working for my friend. That job has taken away a good hunk of time. So, when adding on a web site build to my lessened free time…well, let’s just say that I’m always feeling a time crunch. One of the first casualties are my blogs. I just don’t get to them as often, but I’m trying to fix that. The thing that aches most is not being as easily available to my family, but to them I will alway try to make myself available. Love trumps money. Priorities.

If I knew I didn’t have time to spare, why did I take the job? It’s not so much that I can’t say no, because I have been known to, but that I don’t like letting people down. People get expectations of me from others, and I have high expectations for myself. Combine that with the fact that I generally like to be useful, and you get me agreeing to build a web site.

On the plus side, once I get a design foundation we can all be happy with, the bulk of the build shouldn’t take more than a week or two (allowing for those small glitches that always pop up). It probably wouldn’t be so bad if we weren’t heading into the holiday season—which seems to sap time from everything.

AND I have another business lined up for the new year. I’m an idiot.
