EEEEeeeeeexbox360!

I just checked the repair status of my Xbox 360 and my account says that the unit has been repaired and has been shipped back to the customer! I’m the customer! It will be shipped back to me! The unit!

I’m sorry, I haven’t been this excited since purchasing the Orange Box. I’m going to throw a party. And there will be cake! Ok, I’m lying, there won’t be cake.

As excited as I am for getting my 360 back, this may be bad timing as my freelance work, especially in the Photoshop department (Hi Conrad!), has recently picked up. This time, it’s pro bono stuff for portfolio-ing, which I actually seem to enjoy more than the pressure of paid gigs.

And speaking of paid gigs, nobody told me that half of freelancing work is really just keeping it going. It’s seriously 40% actual work and 60% client-project management. One of these days, I’m going to ask some people to jump on this train and help me manage accounts and charge my clients because I am getting sick of explaining what I do, how much it will cost, then doing it, and then explaining what I’ve done, and explaining why what I’ve done costs [x] amount of money.

Does anyone (in the LA area) want to make a start-up? I’m thinking I may need some help here.
