| Define 'fully-booked' | Mar 11, 2011 |
I'm fully-booked for the next couple of days and mostly-booked for the week after. I voted yes but could equally have voted no because I'm not fully-booked for a month.

I took a break. I've been turning down jobs because I got really burned out.

This week I am fully booked, even to the point of having to decline a job with a deadline overlapping that of my current project.
As of next week, a "down-time" is planned for a couple of days to "recuperate".

I am currently fully-booked. But only for 1 week. Maybe 1 week later i will be none-booked
Who knows? Our profession is the most turbulent job in our planet i think.
This is good so. My translation life is such a novel, I dont know what tomorrow (morning) happens. This is nice tambien (IMO).

I do not consider I am fully booked when I have work only for a few days and do not have to turn down anything.

Me, myself, I, yes.
However, I have friends/colleagues/collaborators who aren't, and I have been able to pass a certain amount of the excess workflow to them, thus "keeping it in the family".

| More than... | Mar 11, 2011 |
It is very up and down at the moment.
So I took on a week's work for a long-standing client at the lower end of my rate scale. (Currency exchange rates were far better when I agreed to their rates...)
I had barely put the phone down when TWO jobs came in from new, better-paying clients. It's going to be a busy weekend.
Happy translating and plenty of it!

| After three weeks of non-stop... | Mar 11, 2011 |
....it's quite nice to have half a day to yourself! When you run out of admin jobs to amuse yourself with though, that familiar angst starts to creep in (I'm always relieved to see I'm not the only one who feels that way when I read these forums ).

| Yes and HOW! | Mar 11, 2011 |
Last month I had a bit of a "dead period" however now I start working at 7am, finishing 23pm.
I hope after this period is over I will get a chance to take it easy for some time, my family really needs it...and me too
