On paradoxes of the trade

Observation: the quantity of translation jobs is reversely proportional to the quantity of time available to complete said jobs.

Now, I'm not complaining on people calling in, demanding my services. It seems, however, that customer service representatives and office managers at translation agencies have some kind of instinct, forcing them to call at the worst possible time. I should know, I've been one for a while. Or maybe it's the summer and the fact that most people are away on holidays and I'm one of the few suckers to stay behind and work.

What do you think? Hello? Anyone there?
