One interesting thing for me this year, after relinquishing most all of the jobsite work (other than 2X daily site visits and some time to teach on a jobsite), is that I'm in the odd position of being totally caught up on designs and estimates. This has never happened for me. I was actually freakin' out a little this week - every year up to this one, at this point in the year, I'd have between 12 and 20 designs/estimates that I'd be working on, and would inevitably fail to provide a timely bid on several of them, ticking the people off. But this week, about Tuesday, I was putting the last of the designs I needed to create on the drafting table, and was now worried about generating more leads. It's not that I haven't been cranking out the bids - if things go my way, in the next two weeks I'll have sold the total volume of biz we did last year. It's great having all the potential biz out there waiting to come in, but also very weird being caught up right now.
More leads have come in, and I'll have about a half-dozen bids/estimates to work on this weekend.
