Everyone coming into NZ from somewhere else will now need to self quarantine for 14 days. And no cruise ships can dock until after 30 June. Good luck my fellow Antipodeans.

Did you know that forced pregnancy is recognized under the Geneva Convention as a crime against humanity and a war crime? Perhaps our companies can openly take a side on the current abortion issue since it impacts many of us and our work lives. What do you think? Civil responses only please.

So who else here is experiencing plummeting billable hours and exponential weight gain since this whole WFH thing started? Bought snacks for 30 days, finished in 48 hours.

Well I recently told a guy I have been seeing I have HSV-2. We have not yet been physical but it’s been heading that direction. Man I hate this part - waiting to see what his response will be after he researches and talks to his doctor. I’m on daily meds which help reduce transmission risk. You’d think that since HSV-2 affects 20% of Americans and likely a higher % of gay men, there would be less taboo but it’s hardly ever talked about. Anyone else in my shoes? Or had it disclosed to them?

How is everyone doing presently in the Oil and Gas world (mentally, physically, emotionally)? We appear to have survived one of the two "black swan" events, but COVID still looms.

So I feel like I want to keep eating something all day. Even though I'm full and not really hungry. It's the thing of chewing I guess. What to do to combat this?

If I do boot camp T/Th (10 lb dumbbells, typically full body strength but occasionally emphasis on one area + hiit), what workouts should I be doing mwf? I had been running but now I’m wondering if I should try to do more strength training. It would be very challenging for me to make it to a gym but I have weights/peloton at home. I’m female. Weight is healthy BMI but on the brink of overweight with all my extra weight being legs and butt.

Hey all. Just had a question for any insurance underwriters who work in the states. I am moving down there at some point and I would like to know.. What is the insurance landscape like compared to canada? Anyone working in new York state? Is there a lot more red tape? What is the pace of work like? If anyone is willing to have a phone call that would be greatly appreciated. I am in environmental.

Anyone else have trouble hitting their calorie goals in the winter because it’s just too cold outside to go get groceries/lunch/dinner? 😩

Any ideas on how to negotiate a delayed start date? I really want it to be Jan. My mental health needs some time off and this company breezed through interviews to offer in 1 week when I was expecting it to take at least a month. I really need some time to recover from burnout.

Hello London folk. There’s a lot of great chat about diversity in adland on fishbowl, but it’s all very US based. So I’ve just started a bowl on diversity in London specifically - 9qo8f

Can’t see us going much higher .. thoughts on spy puts?

Weekend thought as many of us watch our portfolios bleed away value as the market hit all time highs: stick with it. This is a very difficult time in the market so try to figure out what’s not working and fix it. Stick with your process while trying to improve it. That should you you in the best place to manage risk now and be positioned to capture new opportunities in the coming weeks and months. Discipline, execution, and patience are key sources of alpha. Best of luck.

Has anyone used an online accountant/back end company to manaage all of your invoices, billing, taxes, etc?

I’m debating using Collective or Bench but would love real reviews.

I’m a freelance media planner/buyer and I’m interested in being able to buy media for clients without having the media vendors bill the clients directly.
How would I be able to handle billing myself?

A former studio I worked for submitted some my work for consideration for an award, but I’m mis-attributed in the awards credits for something I didn’t do. What should I do?

Has a client ever asked you to put your bank info for direct deposit on your invoice? I’m guessing this is my account number and routing number.

How do you deal with references as a freelancer? Most of my past gigs - I had managers on paper but it was a formality as I led my own work so don't feel comfortable asking them to be a reference.

Thinking of removing my work experience & skills descriptions from my resume and replacing it with what I haven’t worked on & what skills I don’t have. To, ya know, speed up the app process. Thoughts?

Looking for a freelance GRAPHIC DESIGNER for ongoing monthly retainer to design overall direction for an IG account with 50k followers. Social media experience is a must. Understanding how to design content to foster community is a plus.

How do you go about getting clients, when your network is pretty nonexistent?

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?

Question: since August last year, the same recruiter at a mid-size agency has asked me about freelance gigs maybe 4 or 5 times......continued:

Not sure if anyone is gonna be down for this but i know of a writing gig with a rate of $60-$80/hr. It’s mainly website copy for a web3 company so it could be good to get that experience. DM if you’re interested.

Anyone know a mortgage broker that understands freelance? I’m struggling to get anyone to approve a loan since I started an S-Corp last year. Running into two years of business history / current salary. I’ve been freelancing for years.

I haven't been paid for an invoice from December, what do I do? Do I change a late fee?

Anyone know of any freelance opportunities for a junior/associate strategist with a project or two behind their belt (or how new to freelancing actively works)? Would love to chat thanks

Started a freelance gig with a new smaller agency — doesn’t feel like a good fit and it’s not full time- I have other jobs inquiring. Is it bad to quit for something fulltime?

Trying to avoid paying an accountant, can I actually write off home office space/mileage if I was just permalancing for 3 months last year? Shouldn’t the 7 months of W2 take care of this 1099 shit?

Current place I'm at wants to extend me. Thing is I had already (verbally) agreed to another place. But other place is less $, less time, though more "prestige". Stay or go?

Does anyone knows if freelancers will have to go back to office in September when agencies are asking everyone to return?
