The 5 AM side gig that nearly cost me my real job in accounting
I took on a weekend bookkeeping client in Phoenix to fund my photography habit, but one missed email to my main firm blew up into a 4 hour scramble on Monday. What's the closest call you've had between paying work and the thing you actually care about?
That phrase about funding your photography habit really hits home. I used to roll my eyes at people who said your day job and your passion can't mix, but then I got burned the same way and now I get it. Keeping them totally separate is the only way I can sleep at night.
