I hate working for myself, it's made me question my relationship with time. Every break feels like it costs money. How do you all rest when it feels like every second wasted is money lost?

Trigger: rare illness post birth

Just sharing that I was diagnosed with postpartum preeclampsia 3 days after giving birth despite not having risk factors or preeclampsia in my pregnancy. Sharing as I had absolutely no idea about this illness.

Main things to do are check your BP everyday at least the first ten days after you give birth, and go to hospital if it's very high (over 160/110). If you get severe headache or stomach ache then also be vigilant.

Happy to answer any questions!

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.

Hey fish - been seeing the talk about calculating day rates. Who here does the annual x 125 for day rate? If not, how do you calculate yours? Also - is the standard time expectation as many hours as it takes to meet the goal that day and are meetings lumped in, or do you do 8 hrs? (new to this)
