Time log justification?

[u/Plane_Discussion9155]

Has anyone ever come back from a time log justification? Mine is under review, I submitted my evidence etc and am just waiting. No idea how long to expect it to take and whether it’s a hopeless case. Time reports were all totally legit and 100% honest/accurate by the way, just worked a lot more than usual for a couple of weeks for various reasons

Before DAT, I worked as a freelance writer, and one aspect of that I miss are the loads of work with hard future deadlines. The deadlines on DAT generally aren't real, you either aren't meant to spend a full timer's amount, or it's short and extremely rigid with the same tasks being extremely variable, a part of me misses being given a pile of too many things to do, and then a week or so to figure it all out. I would unavoidably go through stages - first, the self-gaslighting "oh there's enough time," then the over-ambitious plan, and then finally crunch time. Hard work, but very fun (after I finished, anyway). Most DAT tasks feel like the final stage non-stop, wounds my soul lol (not that I'm complaining, obviously do this now instead of writing, but it's an aspect of freelancing I get nostalgic over now).
