Availability
Some general principles on my availability
With the exception of when I’m on leave or about to be, at any point I will usually have at least some capacity available within the next month
I’m very rarely available for projects that require turnaround within the same week, though do always feel free to check. Note I do typically apply rush rates for work that requires an unusually swift turnaround.
I am generally unavailable on Tuesdays, as this is the day on which I work for Hansard
I do not check or respond to any messages sent when I’m on leave. That includes voicemails. Let’s catch up when I get back.
I never accept meeting requests for the day on which I return from a longer break. Trust me – you don’t want to speak to me then anyway. I’ll be grumpy and discombobulated, particularly in January when I’ll be suffering the effects of Quality Street withdrawal.
