The best part of being self employed as a blogger is that I can set my own hours. My income is redeemed as pageviews accounted by Google. I am both employer and employee. Which is why I have made an executive decision to set holiday blog hours. I am taking Thursday through Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend off and all Saturdays until New Year’s. I will probably take a few days more around Christmas.
I am in a panic that once the Christmas frenzy has set in I won’t either have the time to get the thoughts out of my head and into my computer or my thoughts will be too disjointed to publish. And I am pretty sure that my readers will be so wrapped up (no pun intended) in their own holiday storm that perhaps my writing might not even be missed.
Or at least that is what I think I am going to do. I may need to write and post to maintain my sanity. I may need to write and publish to remain connected.
So. I will have the next few days off. My boss approved my abbreviated schedule. She is pretty good that way. She lets me take time if I am nice to her. But my commission may be impacted---I may have to work twice as hard in January to make up the deficit. But that is okay. If I exceed my weekly work hours I get paid time and a half.
