What do you do on the rare occasion when you have virtually no work?

Summer was busy with lots of long days and a handful of weekends. But I’ve had essentially zero to do all week.

Part of me feels guilty but then again I don’t because I don’t think my agency feels guilty for the long days/weekends.

On the other hand, we just had a round of layoffs so who knows if there are more coming down the pipeline.

I'm Java full stack developer with 1 year 6 month experienced with Java Spring Boot Angular Postgres Camunda BPMN..

Look for cultural moments that you can adapt? Look through award show books? Scroll YouTube videos until 3am?

I know that every brief and every idea is different, but I’m more interested in the process and what you’re creative routine is to get the wheels turning.

Thanks.

Can someone explain how billable hours work? At a new agency and although I had to fill timesheets at my previous agencies, they were mainly used to ensure we weren’t over servicing a client/for setting the appropriate retainer for contract renewals.

I get the impression that billing to the agency admin code isn’t recommended, and my manager said he bills everything to client codes, but that doesn’t make sense to me .
