Not so much a gripe as a challenging situation, but I've been drawn in to a conflict, to resolve a conflict, I mean, for a client who is having some struggles internally between people at their organization. I'm doing this work for them, and they all have different ideas of what they want, and some of them are actually knowledgeable and some of them are not. I have found over the past week I have had to play "therapist" quite a bit with my clients - giving them extra time to talk to me about whatever their current dilemma is (even if it doesn't involve any work I will do for them) and finding out how I can help or providing some context/insight to help them deal with challenges.

The only problem is that it's eating significantly into daytime working hours so I then am working well into the evenings and night to get work done, since that's the only time I am undisturbed. It's okay; I know this will calm down as they get their bearings with how to operate right now, but man, I miss sleep right now.
