| mostly evening | Nov 6, 2007 |
US noon, and European after noon
sometimes early morning from Asian clients.

Morning, afternoon, evening, midnight... because of time difference, as we have between -2 and -5 hours difference with U.S.A., and +4 or +5 hours with Europe.
Also, some clients seem to take their office work everywhere! We sometimes get e-mails from clients's iphones or blackberries, at odd local times or weekends.

Yes, Friday afternoon, with a Monday or Tuesday deadline.
| | | | | I'll second that, mediamatrix! | Nov 7, 2007 |
Most of the times I'll be getting new orders within 30 to 15 mins to COB hours, though sometimes I DO get early morning ones - usually short jobs with a couple of hours' deadline.
It got to the point when I decided to offer discount for clients with low wpd requirements and extended deadlines... I'm getting old, I can't stay up all night every nigh anymore! lol

Work arrives anytime, of course, but most popular is between 3:30 and 5:30 pm GMT, presumably when the bankers and lawyers get back from lunch. And often on Friday afternoons, wanted for Monday.
Regards,
Jenny.
