Increased Mar 8, 2020

So far I have kept 4 old of last year and added 3 new.
Still have not covered the fiasco of dumping my main client last year (though I would have hated myself if i didn't). I hope one of the next ones will be my next regular.
I have some promise of work ahead, but workaholic as I am I will not be happy as long as my mail is not flooded every day.

Six new clients so far, and 'fired' none But obviously, that doesn't mean I've been working for as many clients this year as in 2019: many of my clients revert infrequently, e.g. once a year, and some of them just needed a Dutch translator once. I haven't been able to secure new recurring clients yet in the current year, but fortunately, the ones of 2019 and earlier keep coming back.
