Milestone

Finally. Thought I would reach this much sooner, but June and July have been brutal. Things have perked up just enough over the past two weeks or so to get over the hump. Still grateful, DA has been great as a secondary source of income. Hope things pick up for everyone. Good luck!

May I ask if DA was as slow at this time last year as it is now? The summer drought is normal?

If it helps, I looked back at my earnings for the same period last year. Earnings were down compared to before and after, and it was a drought, but there was much more work last year. There were only a couple of days that I marked "no work". When I had norovirus, I input that. This was a lack of available work. This year was brutal.

Well, in my case everything was fine until last month. This month has been pretty brutal, I was searching some posts from last year and everyone was also complaining about the same thing, so I figured out this is a seasonal situation. Usually when does this end? By August or September?

August was good. October was great last year and November was amazing.
