I think he’s pondering, haha — very true though; I had my winter vacation and barely had any work whatsoever… virtually the EXACT same day I started classes again, a bunch of clients came running back, LOL

Always the case. I hear nothing from everyone for a while, then they all want everything at once

Feast or famine…isn’t it always the way? It just happened to me last week. I was getting nervous that I was running out and all of a sudden my e-mail exploded. YIKES.

Funny but sad, most freelancers are often tempted to secure the “whatever-happens-at-least-i’ll-get-paid” privilege!
Full-time jobs sucks, period.
I think it sucks to be paid same salary every month, do we solve same creative challenges every month? Hell No!
The closest thing to fair play is to get remunerated per project.

How true, how true.
I just turned down an interview for a contract job last week so that I could focus on my own clients. I guess history will prove if it was a good idea to not further investigate the contract job.
But it felt good to do it. And it still feels good today!

Yeah, real jobs suck. Having to wait a month to be paid, no matter how hard you work, or how much you do, just isn’t good. Freelancing freedom is great because you decide when you need money when to do work (providing you can get a client of course)!

The wonderful world of services and being unable to store them. On the flip-side, we have idle production capacity.

Oh god. This happens to me every Spring. I’m resisting the urge right now.

This is so true. You have to fake them into believing you’re really busy I think. When there’s no work just sit on the couch and hope none of your clients call… they’ll call when they sense the brainwaves.
