Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I'm self-employed. As such the idea of day on/off work can get really messy for me; some days I work a single hour and then drink booze, some days I work 16h straight. It depends on work availability + my mood.

Days when I don't work at all typically involve cooking, taking care of my pets, napping, watching anime, reading some random junk.

What do you do for self-employment? I've always thought that being self employed would be awesome.

Translation; mostly between Portuguese, Italian, English.

Self-employment is a bit of a mixed blessing. It requires some discipline handling time and money, as well as flexibility - dealing with the fact that some months you'll get barely any income, and in others you'll feel overworked as fuck. You won't deal with a shitty boss, but with a plethora of shitty clients (and some really great ones).
