Free lancing

Are you a free-lancer? Do you recognize this deadly cycle:

Deadline crush > Angry mob demanding completion of project > Stress levels skyrocket > Project completed by dint of miracle (with 10 more to go) > Heavy drinking

Knock back another scotch and press repeat. Watch health and efficiency levels decline steadily. Personal grooming goes to the dogs as well.

I miss making art.

It stops me from wanting to do a big leap-frog from a tall building whenever someone asks me for the zillionth draft amendment.
