I feel like you completely missed this part... > On the other hand, they're perfectly comfortable with me telling them, "I'll be in a bit late today because last night was rough". Give and take. I'm comfortable waking up at 3am in the morning if it's needed, and my clients are comfortable with me not always being in a seat from 9 to 6. Flexibility on both ends, give and take. Plus, they are always appreciative of any effort, in or out of normal work hours. I love the clients I work with. We're a team.
