The Freelance Series

Do you have a strict daily schedule or do you freestyle?
I’d rather work from morning to 6-ish in the afternoon, but you tell that to my clients! Whenever something is urgent (believe me, most of the times they are) this could all go upside down. So I wouldn’t say that’s freestyling, is it? 

Favorite breaktime ritual
Watching animes: they have the perfect breaktime duration. 

The things you miss about working in an office
The good people! Translating at home can get lonely at times.

The things you don’t miss about working in an office
Everything else: the noise, the bathroom, the commute, not having my cat around, bad company organization, eating in 5’ and, of course: the bad people!

A piece of advice for newbies
Don’t work while lying in the sofa and start saying no to bad clients that’ll make your life a living hell (money isn’t everything, health is).

What feature would you like to see in the {product name} card?
The ability to configure your card account without standing in line to do so, just by securely logging in through your mobile app.
