Geoff -

And this is the case, but it is also wildly different kinds of data and
reporting to go with each. I have common database libraries and techniques
shared between each, but the design and workflow of each app + reporting +
backends depending on how complex each app is quickly builds up.  Not to
mention several of these apps have various clients, desktop and a dumbed
down mobile version for netbooks that require additional support and time.

Also, it isn't so much one after the next as some of them at the same time.
Most days I spend different parts of the day doing maintenance,
development, or support for around 3 applications at a time.

Björnke- All of which are wonderful suggestions if I weren't working
in-house for a company. Help isn't an option right now, neither is
accepting less work. :\

I was just trying to compare my weekly workload to other full time livecode
developers to get an idea of what is typical.
