That does not mean I am free 24/7. Simple as that. At the moment, I work at home, as a designer, I really don’t want to continue elaborate it, but some people don’t understand.
Freelance (work at home) is not free
Expect to pay me if you want to use my services. Friend-price or whatever is still fine, but it will be me who tell you the price, and not you to tell me how much to charge you. Foochow people has this bad habit, they want to be your accountant. They will count how much time and space and even material you’ll be use, and they’ll then set the price themselves for you. I work at home, imagine what they are saying/telling. Stop that ok? I’m making a living here.
Freelance don’t have all the free time on hand
Like everyone else do everyday. Encounter deadline and being hectic and tire in the job. I do work also and sitting in my house without an air-conditional like you do in office. I don’t have those employee-benefit thingy, so I need to work extra to handle those. The worst thing is, I don’t even have a proper table and chair on my work station now.
Work alone doesn’t mean I’m rich
I’m struggling with deadline also, each project can’t really feed me for a month long. Yes, I don’t have to drive and I don’t have to waste money buying shirt for office or anything office related, but I still have to buy underwear like you, pay motorhome insurance like you, feed my parent like you and etc. Even if I have a little bit more spare than you, it means I work longer hour to get those “spare”.
Work at home is working
Stop giving me the look, like I’m some kind of jerk sitting at home playing Dota or Farmville. I play hard work hard also. In fact I have been struggling to have a little fun online nowadays.
I’m off to work now… Hopefully I can have more deadline coming… Amen!
Yeah… work from home is kinda difficult for the old-minded to accept…
Yalor, yalor~ Have to keep telling them I’m working and worst, have to spend time with them… Like working at home has all the free time, else why work at home -__-”
office life sucks. work at home, SOHO rules!
It rules, but sometimes something work well in office also.
1, Talk
2, EPF all ready
3, Free coffee (mom won’t nag about too much caffeine also)
I tried working at home too, but my mum is those stick in the mud conservative women tat believes in more work more $$$…she keep giving me pressure to go out work outside…and she expects to have money monthly if i wanna work at home too, fast.
Totally agreed with the last point, there are people who always thought working at home is an easy task, it really bother me a lot, but soon I just gave them a smile & try to stay away from the conversation, too lazy to explain, they will never understand us anyway
Yeap…. Hard to make them understand that “we can now working at home”…
