    I am a full-timer, due to the fact that it gives me a sense of security and peace, plus I like having someone else dealing with the business and client side aspects of the work...

    That being said, it has taken me a couple of jobs to find the right place -- I like the "10-6" or flex mindset a whole lot better than the structured 9-5. I also am particular about system dynamics in an organization; and thus have worked for successively smaller companies over the years...

    one last note: I have also learned that I need to commit to one form of work or the other. Working full-time and handling 20+ hours of freelance is draining, deadening... So now, I try to take on work and start projects as much away from the computer screen as possible.

    and so the day goes:
    7ish or 8ish: wake!
    8ish: run time OR cafe time
    10 or 11ish: to work!
    2ish: lunch or coffee walk
    6ish: towards home
    7: urban distractions
    10: home projects
    1 or 2: bedtime!

    sorry for the longwinded banter!
