This last -year, I dealt with a harsh busy season from Aug to Oct 2022 to issue a few SOC -reports for the period ending 2022-09-30. Immediately following that, I had to -pivot and found another busy season from Oct to Jan for financial statement -audits ending on 2022-12-31. Then again, supporting other clients from Jan to -Mar 2023, followed by my current client workload aiming for SOC reports due on -2023-06-30. - -The result? A busy season that has lasted from August 2022 through today. I will -likely be rushing throughout the next month or two before I have a brief break -and need to focus on the 2023-09-30 SOC reports again. While auditing and -consulting always involve a busy season, this is the first time I've had one -last 9+ months without a break. - -While it's been tough, I have a handful of breaks pre-planned throughout this -next cycle and should be able to moderate the level of commitment required for -each client. - -# Refocusing - -Outside of work, I finally have time to work on hobbies such as this website, -programming, athletics, games, etc. - -You may have noticed my absence if you're in the same channels, forums, and -rooms that I am, but I should finally be active again. - -I'm hoping to break an item out of my backlog soon and start working on building -a new project or hack around with a stale one. |
