Good problem to have

[sirguykasama]

I have a quandry. I am being offered more an more side work as my rep is growing and I really feel like I should start turning down jobs. The problem there is that anything I turn down could close a door in this very exclusive work space and I am hesitant to do so. I asked my main colleague that does the same work and his advice will do me no

Well if random sex would help, let me know *wink* :)

[sirbelgarion]

Oh sure only respond to the "Miss you" part. Don't respond to the random sex part. /cry

What a lovely problem to have, Sir. A lovely problem indeed.

When can we get together and have some drinks and laughs and flirtations?

[sirguykasama]

I think that could be arranged. I am always going so maybe we should plan something a couple weeks out.

As in love, hard to get in work can in fact make you more in demand. My solution to your work problem is to double your rate. Indicate to those that ask that this is what you are commanding these days. If the work volume doesn't decline then you make twice as much. If it does then you have more time and as much money. Fortune favors the bold and if the market is really exclusive then it will work nicely.

More generally, my advice is simple. Realize what is important to you. Life is full of choices, and you have to own yours. If you work to the exclusion of a relationship then own that choice. If your work suffers because you want to pursue the personal then own that too. (I believe your danger of starving for lack of work is limited.)

My I am full of advice (or something) this a.m.

Second's that thought to the letter!

I believe I could not have said that any better. And honestly, that is my full advice as well. It is wonderful that you are in such high demand. However, you do need to put what is more important to you on the table and in first place. Whatever the decision, you have a win/win situation.

smooches baby!

smooches back at ya darlin. You are soooo good to me.:) I really feel like I am in just such a great place in my career and social life. Nothing but wonderful posibilities and risks I am more than willing to take.:)

[sirguykasama]

It is funny, you approach these kinds of things just like I do. I do like your idea of just raising my rates. If they pay them, sweeet.:) I am really glad btw we can keep track of each other nowadays at least in a limited capacity.:)

I agree with both people above, but I have a bit more advise for you, Learn to say no, and I don't just mean at work. Don't let the demands of life let you stop having fun. After all if you're not having fun what's the point of life?

[sirguykasama]

You know, saying no in some respects is incredibally easy for me, in others, very difficult. I will put some thoughts behind this one
