I am sitting here thinking 'I didn't get much work this week...boohoo' and bam! in comes the paper from the scientist who has been working

I wonder why this is

and writing furiously all week and wants that manuscript off his desk for the weekend!

Last Fri I got a 6 pm call for a rush job - worked on Sun - but it was lucrative!

Looks like you are working an "alternative week" Friday to Tuesday and your off days are Wednesdays and Thursdays!

Telemill - i usually reply and give myself a week to two weeks to turn around the manuscript, depending on my work load, then deliver early

rush job charges double rate!

double rate!
