I was feeling a bit green yesterday. Not quite the return ticket, a little unbalanced in the person as it were. So in the afternoon I took to my bed and recovered some sleep for a couple of hours. Once I woke up I was far better, fresh and revived and went back to work. Which was all simple to do as I work at home and for myself so I gave myself permission, continued with activities providing superior SEO and IT support services to companies in and around the Black Country.
It is a distinct advantage that the home-worker has. If I was based in an office somewhere I would have either had to attempt to haul my way through the day feeling grotty and most likely gradually getting worse, or make up my mind to jack in the day, make my apologies and go home without the possibility of returning and continuing where I left things. Plus I’d have the annoyance of having to fill in forms, possibly have to suffer a ‘return to work interview’ as I really need my intelligence insulted as a penance for feeling under the weather. But, in doing SEO work I can just save my work, take refuge under the duvet, snatch a quality snooze and when I come to again, cross the landing to the office and carry on.
It would not have been so if I had been on an IT support call of course, although the choice would have been to complete the job I was on and then either choose to put off any outstanding appointments or pause for a breath of air or a sleep in the car before going on. It would also depend on whereabouts in the Black Country I was of course, if I was near to home I could always pop back for my snooze and let future appointments know that I was going to be delayed, though of course if there was a dire emergency situation somewhere then naturally I would need to be really poorly to let them down.
It is of course the unending dilemma of the freelancer. No work, no income and if you let clients down then they will always have the choice to find someone else that they could consider to be more reliable, that’s everyday business sense.
So, whether being employed to boost a website with SEO, or keeping their systems and computers running by giving IT support, feeling poorly doesn’t need to stop me supporting my customers’ business, which being office bound probably would, which is for the best.
