The freelance life

You think it's easy setting your own hours, working as you choose? Hah! It only makes it harder to take a surf day when you are your own boss. Because really, you could be working all the time.

Like today. It was sixty degrees and sunny and felt like spring! I saw that forecast last night, said, I have to surf today. But when I woke up the surf report was inconclusive. I wanted to go so bad I called up E. to give me a first person report from the boardwalk. He said: it's not so great, 2 to 3 foot choppy, you can ride it if you want to, nothing special.

Well, that's the conditions about 350 days of the year around here! In other words, there is rarely if ever a day that is so good the decision to go surfing is made for you by the surf goddesses. It's always 50/50.

So then the question becomes: Well, what will you do if you don't go surf?
How important is it, what are the consequences of not doing it?

You know the answer to that question when you're a freelancer: work.

Today, I thought if I didn't go surfing I could get about eight hours in. But if I went surfing, with the three-to-four hour travel time (have I mentioned that?) I knew I wouldn't get anything done.

So I voted to stay home and work. I ended up getting only about four hours of work done. That's four more than I would have gotten if I'd surfed.

Am I glad?





I wonder how good it was out really?

Shit, it would have been fun.
