It’s Monday afternoon and I am wrapping up the day’s work from my home office our organic farm in rural Saskatchewan (another hat!). I started my work day answering emails and a phone call from a team lead in Mumbai, on his way home from the office-at the end of his day, to discuss social media for a client, followed quickly by a phone call from Bolivia to discuss a new e-newsletter with the new template getting tweaked as we e-speak. I then sent my weekly report to a client on Vancouver Island and fielded emails for and from the filmmakers crossing Canada about media in Saskatchewan and spotlights in BC, responded to urgent emails from an editor in Edmonton who is checking copy ready to go to press and subbed out some work to a team in Toronto. Pausing for lunch – zebra tomatoes fresh off the vine and more garden delights-back at it with zeal with a phone meeting with an editor-publisher in Toronto about an awesome contest we are collaborating on and touched up a contract for a writer from San Francisco. Finally, I finished the copy for the new e-newsletter and input tweaks on the template (which looks great, still work to be done tonight) and temptations from California imploring me to come for a media visit (would love to, but harvest awaits) in time for hubby coming off the fields. A neighbour dropped by and said, ‘I hope I am not disturbing anything,’ whereupon I smiled and said, ‘Not at all, not at all. I’m done for the day, let’s go pick some peas.’
