I am calling around for house cleaners in the Chicago suburbs, and am getting a going rate of $90/hr per maid. This is a similar rate for a freelance mid-sr copywriter. Likely with less aggravation.

(cont) there is a labor shortage apparently. I have never used a house cleaner, so am not sure what the rate is usually. However, in a way I feel like a cw gig should pay way higher considering how much money we make for our clients. That said, cleaning strangers' toilets is a much harder job. So I guess my conclusion is: everybody everywhere should be making more money. Especially me.

So, I fucked up a bit. Was interviewing with the recruiter and they asked me my rate — I went low as I had a number for a senior role. The problem was I forgot in the beginning of the meeting it was mentioned this was an ACD role. Can I go back to them with a more appropriate number for the role should I get the offer?

Is this a valid reason to be taken off a project? I'm not used to working with such rude people.

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative. Not in a Womb Stories way, but more in an Uncommon B&Q Build a Life way. The reference I’m thinking of cuts away to vintage black and white footage and even old cartoons. I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!
