Why can't batteries in smoke alarms fail during daylight hours instead of 10:00pm. Spent the past hour pulling 6 smoke alarms down from 14ft ceilings. 😞

So you are trying to say you have a big house with 14ft ceilings. COOL.

No, house is not that big. The ceilings are.

Haha so the one in my parents house broke down during the day, and literally everyone on my dad’s work call asked if he was recording the call because of the beeping... this one consultant didn’t believe him and legitimately thought my dad was recording her

funny

Try to make time to change the batteries on daylight savings (spring forward/roll back). That way the batteries are fresh and you control when that day is convenient to get up on a ladder.

How would you rate the freelance market at the moment? I’ve recently quit fulltime, and beyond a couple of my own (LLC) short client projects - I’ve had zero agency freelance over the summer.
I have 10 years exp (2.5 as CD on well known brands) at respected agencies, and some awards.
What am I doing wrong? I left FT to address some long term burnout, but now I’m afraid if this continues - I’ll have to go back full time, without even snagging a FL gig. 🫤
