Work-life balance, bah

With a bit of luck, you won't read this until the
morning. With more luck I wouldn't have been writing
this in the evening but it wasn't to be.
Not that I'm obsessed
with this blog or anything. It's just that I've
agreed to do this piece for a supplement for one of
the Nationals. Two pieces in fact.
OK, five pieces, but three are done. I agreed to do these in January/February with a long deadline, and the reason three of them are done is twofold. First, if I'm honest, I organised them better. Second, though, the case studies who'd agreed to be profiled, the PRs who set them up, didn't suddenly get in touch a fortnight ago after loads of delays and tell me they weren't going to play.
So here I am. Tuesday evening. Typing. Actually, typing and hoping against hope that the people - no, let's call them saints! - who've agreed to step in at the last minute, one of whom is in France and the other in America, will hit the 'send' key on their preliminary answers to me so I can check they're the right people and follow up with some questions to get some quotes.
Work-life balance? Don't make me laugh...
