10 Reasons I “Love” Freelancing

by Shoaib on July 2, 2010


Being a freelancer is great, but just like everything else, there are certain “side-effects” that you’ll probably experience as a result.

Caution for those with no sense of humor, do not proceed.

So, here are ten things which I “love” about freelancing:

Number One:

The joy of seemly countless revisions.

Number Two:
You are your own boss, so you have to do his job too.

Number Three:
You unplug from the Matrix, and plug into the Matrix 2.0.

Number Four:
The ability to wake up later…and sleep much later.

Number Five:
Rather than being made of 70% water, your body becomes 70% coffee.

Number Six:

Your wife constantly tells you to get a proper job.

Number Seven:
You can work in any clothes…therefore you never change.

Number Eight:

Only you and those in the Matrix 2.0 know what pwned means.

Number Nine:
Going to work means going to the garage.

Number Ten:
That lovely feeling you get when your client says “My nephew can do it”.
