As I decided to practice writing every day (almost) and to use prompts, I get some interesting stuff, so here it is, all in one place...

Are you happy with your current work?
Its all still too new, even after almost a year, to say that I am happy. So much changes in recent months have all made it a bit hard to digest, but its all for the best , I believe
Its all still in the making. the transition from hired employee to freelancer is not simple.
In many ways I am still a hired employee. I go to the office and need to deliver at certain times, but I no longer have the salary rather I need to submit an invoice.
The disadvantages:
I have more than one client, so I have more than one boss.
Everything in the business depends on me, so if I am sick, I do not get paid and the work does not get done.
I am limited as to how much work I can take on, the business is not yet stable enough to take on an employee.
The advantages:
I work mostly from home and my hours are more flexible.
I can be near my kids and not in a remote office all day.
I get some tax benefits because I now submit invoices (e.g. deduct home expenses to some extent).
I can raise my hourly wage.
I can work from anywhere! A laptop, Wifi Internet and a power extension is all I need.
I am still at the beginning of a log road. Its a wide wide way...
