STATUS: One more day and counting…
What’s playing on the iPod right now? BACK DOOR SANTA by B.B. King
The time is near but I bet you folks wonder if agents really do stop working over the holidays.
The answer is “sort of.” Here at Nelson Agency I won’t be reading queries, sample pages, or even any client material (because I completed all that) but I will be popping in occasionally because of several outstanding tasks.
I have several projects currently on submission so I’ll need to check email and voicemail messages to see if there is any movement on them.
I’m in the middle of negotiating a contract and the contracts person has gone on holiday until the 26th. This means we can’t complete until that last week of December and yes, I will work on that.
I’m awaiting several payments that may arrive this week or next. Those will need to be processed and mailed promptly (or if it’s really close to Jan. 1st, I’ll let the clients make that call if they would prefer to receive it in 2008 instead.)
Then there is the accounting system upgrade. We won’t go there right now!
Tomorrow I’ll share the year in stats and then I’m outta here.
I can relate to this in a way… my husband’s trying to get everybody’s records finished this week. He does not want to go back into the studio over Christmas.
I think when you have the kind of work that could expand into every available crack of time, you often end up making deadlines for yourself in order to get it done!
let’s hope it’s worth it and everybody gets to enjoy a holiday!
Have a good Christmas, and send some of that snow east because all we’re getting in the 212 and 215 is ice.
