Illumination: The Fyrefly Jar Weblog

The journal of a new mom and freelance editor who blogs about both when she has the time!

Up late finishing some work (oh, am I swamped!!) and just checked my CE listserv messages. They pointed me to this nifty HR World article on 101 reasons why freelancers do it better!

Totally true: #6, 8, 36, 41, 55, 73, 74, 86, 89, 98

I wish!!: #21, 56, 68, 76, 100

And who really would want #18???

    I can ID with some of these based on my 3 months out of work. My first midday trip to Bed Bath and Beyond felt like the first minutes of 28 Days Later because I was used to weekend traffic.

    #18 (learn more about taxes) does puzzle me. It's like saying that by going to prison, you'll learn more about knife fights. True, but I'd still rather they happen to someone else. Like between two chimps, for instance.

    #5 (meetings about nothing): I suspect I went to one of these earlier this week. I defaulted to the "Calling All Chimps" mental movie I run while confronted with useless meetings like this.
