Yep. And we were fed KFC if we had to work late.

You scamp.

That sounds quite considerate to be honest.
Congrats on the success btw Griff - hope you'll be buying us drinks to celebrate at the next BSG meet up. If that's not a tradition it should be.
Quote: Griff @ July 29 2009, 5:00 PM BSTProofreading's one of those things where although there are professional qualifications, nobody minds about them much. You just claim to have done it on your CV, and then they give you a test at the interview, and if you can do it, you've got the job. At least that's been my experience.
Oooh.
*amends CV*

Sorry to drag this back on-topic but,normally, I do 9.00am - 1.30pm weekdays.
If there's a deadline, longer hours.
When the kids are off it gets a bit trickier, though.
I just try to make sure I get something down each day.
I write every day at the moment.
If I'm in a lull between freelance projects, or waiting for notes on my pilot script, I'll try to knock out a sketch, some one-liners, or a substantial blog post or something.
If I wasn't writing I think I'd go a little loopy.
But 9am? Feck that. I'm an afternoon person.
I write every day.
The duration varies per day, often locking myself away for hours. The other day, the missus thought I was a burglar, as she hadn't seen me for ages.
