Although that doesn't mean they are rush jobs. I usually work weekends to catch up on the workload or I'd never get everything done. I have to work full time for financial reasons, but I also have to look after my daughter during the week and take her to classes after school, etc., so I cannot put in all the hours necessary from Monday to Friday. However, if I get asked to do something late on a Friday for Monday morning, then I add a surcharge. | | | Rebekka Groß (X) Local time: 18:20 английский => немецкий not as a rule | May 30, 2010 |

I have accepted EOB Friday (and prefer it to first thing Monday, TBH) and often delivered directly to a reviewer who as a freelancer themselves had that Monday morning deadline

I much rather have Friday evening+Saturday morning off. Working Sunday evening doesn't bother me at all. I always try to negotiate a Friday EOB deadline to Monday morning. In 99% of the cases, no one is going to look at the text until Monday anyway. | |

Cristina Heraud-van Tol wrote: I proposed this very long ago, and I believe the phrasing was changed. It should be something like: "Do you usually accept job deadlines set for Monday early morning your time (when the job was sent on Friday evening)?, but probably it was too long. In this way you know you are ruining your whole weekend. Parties, walks, outings, visiting a friend, everything canceled. Well it just depends on how busy I am. Depending on wether I was planning to work in the weekend or not, and on the worl already planned, I may accept or not. And in any case, I don't see why accepting a job in itself should ruin my weekend, it depends on the job: I often agree to take on a 500 words jon from Friday ton Monday, this is far from ruining my weekend. | | | Marlene Blanshay Канада Local time: 13:20 Член ProZ.com c 2009 французский => английский + ... i'm like amy but there are variables | May 30, 2010 |
night owl, live alone, no kids...but there are times when I say no! If it's a large job and means the whole weekend, it's NO especially if i've been working constantly and need some time off. If work is slow, then I don't mind because I need the money! Smaller jobs I usually say yes, because it won't take up the whole weekend and I can still have some me-time. | | | Elvia Rodriguez Мексика Local time: 11:20 Член ProZ.com c 2007 английский => испанский It depends... | May 30, 2010 |
I usually work fast so I would accept it if it let me work just a few hours during weekends. I am a mom too so I prefer to devote the weekends to my little girls instead of being working. I usually finish my work due by Monday morning on Friday's night or Saturday's morning. | | | Страниц в теме: < [1 2] | To report site rules violations or get help, contact a site moderator: You can also contact site staff by submitting a support request » Poll: Do you usually accept job deadlines set for Monday early morning your time?
