Where is freedom? 9 signs that you are now freelancer

Anonim

The office is cool. He makes you observe the regime, tie with blackmakely vinnisto, learn to wear beautiful knee skirts and elegant boats. Working from 9 to 6, you become a happy owner of a lunch break, holiday, hospital and, if you are lucky, simplified taxation system.

And all this is as cool that in one day you wake up (traditionally, at 7 am) and decide: well, it is to hell, I'm leaving for Freilance!

And now you sleep for three days, because you do not need to hurry anywhere. Now you have a good strength, and you will decide what and for whom to do. You will choose customers, your work schedule and sleep. But first of the dream of course - to fill the gaps for all long and tedious years of work under the supervision of the evil chief.

Dream office

Your perfect office is now in the living room, to include the background to turn on the cinema and just go to the window to sit down and admire cats on the trees. Although no, better in the kitchen - the dining table is suitable just in height and cookies nearby. Sausage. And it does not work. You go to the balcony, there are the same cats, but also fresh air, it is useful for creativity. Damn, stupid cats! In the bedroom! Here it is the perfect workplace. Bed, laptop on her knees, cookies with kitchen, cinema with living room. Now work!

Where is everything?

Somehow suddenly it turns out that all friends-colleagues with steep projects disappeared somewhere, or projects frozen, or even changed the profession and are now looking for no designer, but Chefs of Vietnamese cuisine. The websites of recruiters are simply filled with steep summary. Okay, start with your favorite Facebook - you need to tell you everything about your new status and super-skills. It is better not to text, but some cute picture or even infographics so that your talent is attracted immediately and in the very eyes of a large and important customer.

P - procrastination

So the customers came, everyone wants Wow and yesterday. This is your profile, in the office you were the main thing in the grandfather of new projects. From work, I left the latter, refined other errors and always surrendered on time.

But now you are free! The bed is so cozy, the movie here has come about witches, and the old one turns out to be cooler. I still want, and you're at home, so why not bake a cake with blueberries? Now flour everywhere, you need to wash the floors and the windows for one thing. Well, then and for the order you can take it, only now on Skype with my mother half an hour and accurately work.

You are all so cool

You learned to fight freedom, but with customers - without strength. They are not in themselves! Everything! Cannot make TK. Do not know what they want. Can not choose between white and black, because they are the same. Coordinate the order month, and then do not pay, because Internet banking has broken / died grandmother / money we ship, but you do not reach for some reason / just ignore.

No time. At all

All month you need to wake up at three o'clock in the morning - because the customer in Vladivostok. Another one is literally on the nearby metro branch, but all the questions decides only in the messenger and in the morning. Then you have another hangwood that you need to pass in the evening, well, and prepare for the next conversation with Vladivostok. Yes, yes, you, a free man, forgot, when I went out on the street on the store in a neighboring entrance and saw your girlfriends, which still every Friday are going to drink wine and suck.

Let me go!

You dream to go somewhere in the mountains or under the palm tree and do not talk to anyone. At all. Disable the phone, forget about mail and messengers. Yes, you perfectly earned in the last couple of months and you can go to Kathmandu, but customers do not agree to lose you even for three days. Therefore, instead of a wild beach in South America, you choose a hotel with good Wi-Fi. There, in a room with air conditioning and a minibar and relax a week.

Mom, I'm fine

In the interruptions between orders you need to listen to these long-bores from relatives. Irka Von is already an assistant judge, and the daughter of Galina Sergeyevna graduated from the ordinance and now heals the children. There is still Natasha, Olya, Anya, Masha, who or built a career or married, which is no less beautiful. And who are you? Where is your labor? And then old age, the pension will not, what do you think at all?

Hi, office!

A couple of years of projects with one customer will develop into a large and deep feeling. You understand each other perfectly, he is delighted, you get paid in time and you even met a couple of times for coffee. And now he matured to make you an offer: official employment, work in the center, or even moving to their New York office, a convenient schedule and indecently a big salary. Well, how to refuse. Now you will be together. The next couple of years is accurate.
