Mine is great but the best thing about him may be that his name is Tony Orlando. He goes by Anthony, for obvious reasons.

You’re paid via 1099? You can only write things off (and he knows all the things) if you’re paid via 1099. Thanks trump tax law!

smart

Lol and the Tony Orlando reference is gonna leapfrog over 80% of the peepole here...

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.

I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
