Under the deadline and under the knife

It's been a long time since I last wrote. My "daily" blog is turning into a weekly one, and I offer my apologies to all those who are anxiously waiting new entries - all two of you. The main reason for this is that tomorrow, I will have an operation, and, as we all know, there is no such thing as a "minor operation". Really, anything can happen in the way of complications, although the chances of this happening are quite small - it's for a hernia, if you must know.

The fact of the operation, plus the recovery time means that the big job I am currently workin on MUST be done by tonight, as it is dated material and still has to go in for production. It's a real good job, fro my long-standing client, and I'm enjoying it, and I'm working most intensively on it too. I've been at my table at 4 a.m. the last two mornings in an effort to get maximum time in on it. I will get it done!

Finally, the once-good cllient has turned very bad, indeed. After giving me nothing but the best feedback on my first two jobs for him, all of a sudden he has accused me of just about everything except being Attila-the Hun. Now, he writes, I've "misrepresneted" myself, and have done "substandard" art work. Suffice it to say that it is hard for me to deal with so many contradictory statements and make any sense of them..oh, yes! He added that he wanted to part on good terms.

Tomorrow I will have this surgery and then be out of commission for a couple of days after. I look forward to being stronger eventually, and getting my body in better shape this year. I have let it go too long. draft
