I hate my fucking job.. I work as a video editor making 450$ per month and its draining and I cant find any good companies. I just feel exhausted, I don't want to do this anymore. I feel like a slave, just working and working everyday with revisions and task with talking head over and over again.. This job is draining and no incentives at hand. just straight up bull. I can't find any good work even though I know I'm capable of it, I don't even know where to go at this point.

sigh* last week Saturday my s/o & I broke up after our 3 year relationship. & it really been affecting me negatively — not eating, autopilot mode, self isolation & diving deep into work. Today I decided to go outside, where I picked up some food to go and went to an outdoor movie by myself; where I had the realization I just really enjoy being by myself. Idk, maybe I’m just better off single after so many failed relationships/am I being dramatic? but anyone else has given up on love?

Is there any way to change this perception or does it just come over time?

How much does a post house typically charge an advertising client for editing in NYC? Whether that’s hourly, daily, etc.

Does anyone include a bit on invoices like "Accounts not paid within terms are subject to a .75% monthly (9% annual) finance charge" or something like that?

Tangentially, has anyone had an invoice with 30-day terms kicked back for revisions because the client's terms are longer, or do they just ignore what you've stipulated?
