Struggling at Getting Back to Normal
It seems that it's taking more than I expected to get back to normal. I've been playing catch-up the past couple of days, paying for my days off for Christmas. Plus, I've been finding one loose end after another to tie up on the family side of things from Christmas.

But in all, I'm starting to get back in the swing of business. I got a bit of a surprise when I sat down with my main client to plan out 2006. He offered me more autonomy on maintaining and promoting his websites, even to the point of making decisions on hiring additional vendors. And he discussed more of a partnership arrangement on the website part of his business, with us sharing more in both the risk and the reward.

It's tempting. I was actually looking to ween myself away from his business next year. And I'm still not sure if I want to increase my role in his business rather than focusing more on my own. But, as I say, it does hold a certain appeal.

Well, enough diary. Now back to work.
