Anyone hearing about clients requesting RTO? I'm listed as a vendor at every shop I work with, but one of them just announced a company wide RTO for employees - was wondering if this typically trickles down to those of us that are considered suppliers.

More often than not, places are willing to keep freelancers remote - especially if they mostly do short term gigs. It makes their life easier and they can recruit better talent

Starting Intermittent Fasting meets elimination diet meets 40 days meat+veggie+fruit diet in consultation with a nutritionist + a lifestyle change program.

I'm not used to IF and had coffee with coconut oil this morning. Thought I was going to pass out since I waited until 11 to eat.

Thinking about adjusting starting to eat at 9:30/10 tomorrow instead.

No questions, just this is going to be something new to get used to.

Quick PSA: one of the perks of going in-house, is that you’re no longer at an ad agency and all that that entails.

Just started a new in-house tech fl gig and it’s giving me whiplash! Somehow this dept has brought every person/toxic behavior from their old agency just to a new environment. Nowhere is perfect but good god. I honestly think companies/HR could learn a lot about their depts from freelancers.
