    2011, plan A (formerly known as plan B) is 29% up on profit compared to last year. We've hired another 4 staff and hope to double turnover by this time next year.

    On a personal level, I've avoided having any more children or damaging the ones I've got. Both of which are good news.

    Edit: Oh, and I have become Godlike. Now should I get a custom title?

      2 contracts done and dusted in 2011 - 3 months planned leave stretched into nearly 5 which seriously put a strain on the warchest. Great 3rd contract despite the impending 10% cut in January but with the extension already being written and an apparent freeze on headcount for 2012 despite a full to bursting portfolio of work - could be here this time next year.

      Ideal location and nice working environment....

      Somethings going to go wrong isn't it?

          Keeping calm. Keeping invoicing.

            LOL - well I'll just send him across the road - there's plenty of people I know that have been here for years - maybe I'll be able to turn states evidence and get off?

                A fairly standard year work wise no complaints. The music career got a boost that was unexpected and will have bigger implications for next year.
