If we work on-site most of the time for W2 income, are we really even freelancers anymore?

I charge more for W2 work. It’s not convenient for me since I have my own LLC + equipment.

I push for w9 through my LLC.. if the agency/company doesn’t accept, the only option is w2. but because I can’t write off stuff.. (healthcare, commute, laptop), then I charge more $5-10-20/hr.. depends..

it makes it less likely from a tax perspective. If you work on-site and according the company's direction etc, you are likely to be regarded as an employee. There are checklists available to give you an idea of what your status is.

Any advice for healthier eating, or eating in general, when dealing with a particularly stressful time? I struggle with inflammatory stomach issues as it is, and the stress has been piling up and making it much worse lately - I’m either nauseous or have no appetite (or both). Decided to take the time to make one of my favourite (healthy and vegetarian) meals tonight and it was just not appealing at all 🥲 I don’t think I’ve had a proper meal in a week and I feel terrible.

Something about me is both a curse and a blessing - I can't ignore what is not clear, logical, aligned, and simple. Even if that means that I have to work several minutes or hours extra on a document or an email. Things bother me if they aren't as expected. Unless I understand something clearly, I can't let it go. This is what helped me excel at studies. At work, my obsession makes it hard for people around me. If people complain about me, should I just let it go or change my approach?
