I'm Amy - designer and creative posting from a N O I S Y Nebraska. Today I'm being helo captive by our local city arborists. They've been working on a 100ft oak tree for the last while. I love our old trees, but I am so over the noise today. #freelanceFriends
Tour de France!! It's my favorite thing about July. Good background entertainment when you're stuck in the house. #FreelanceFriends
Fourth of July pics for @phendrickson.bsky.social #FreelanceFriends
This is the close to the other one I've had my eye on. #FreelanceFriends Might be close to the one @devonellington.bsky.social has?
They are. I still ache for one of these, but it's an expensive toy. #FreelanceFriends
These aren't stationery - these are one off addressed envelopes. And they are amazingly wonderful. (📷: IG: @thepostmansknock)
HELLO! The warm is coming! Sending it off to you later today. #FreelanceFriends
Friends helping Friends time! Celebrate your wins! Share a sad. Or ask a question for the group. This is the time for #FreelanceFriends to support one another!
q4) Freelancers are also clients of other businesses. Does anyone have a really great example of a fantastic goodbye? How have you incorporated those tactics into your transition plan? #FreelanceFriends
q3) What's your advice to other freelancers - what else can you do to make this client remember you fondly? How do you balance "enough" - a warm goodbye w/o going overboard? What opportunities do you think folks miss? #FreelanceFriends
q2) Client work creates stuff - deliverables, shared tech, shared space, intellectual property (IP), etc. What are your tactics for handover? Do you keep backups? For how long? What about passwords? #FreelanceFriends
q1) It's time - your contract with your client is about to end. How soon do you start preparing for the transition from current to past client? Do you use a checklist? Do you "wing" it? Does your industry have standards to guide you? #FreelanceFriends
Happy THURSDAY! Welcome to the #FreelanceFriends Bluesky chat! Freelance Friends is a diverse group of freelancers and entrepreneurs who gather weekly to advise and support one another online. We're so pleased you're here today!
Hello #FreelanceFriends! Happy Thursday to all who celebrate! I'm Amy (designer/dev) posting from a gorgeous Lincoln. Supposed to be sunny and high of 70! Summer's last gasp it appears. POTW = found this little friend on campus last week. Isn't he adorable??
Just received the annual "Error Resolution Policy" for Google Pay. It was sent with a (seemingly) genuine Google branded domain email address. Gmail spam filter decides it's spam. Not that I disagree, but not sure what that says about the filter algorithm quality. hmmmm.
Mentioning big dogs - I had to dig out this photo of me from *a long time ago* with Auggie and Octavia. I was their usual pet-sitter and favorite chaos enabler. We had SO MUCH FUN. They're both long gone and I still miss them terribly. #FreelanceFriends
Happy THURSDAY and HALLOWEEN EVE #FreelanceFriends! I'm Amy posting from a slightly frozen Lincoln. I'm a web/graphic/instr designer who dabbles in the dark arts of calligraphy, lettering and photography. We have 4 "familiars" here, but have to give Barney his due. It's his favorite time of year.
That may have happened before, or she got caught on a blanket and rolled off the couch. She's far too sedentary and stubborn for our good. (And drama - the drama is VERY strong with her.) Here she (shorthair) is with Moe, our tuxedo. And they are **almost** touching.
Here's Buddy the Owl. He (she? they?) has been a resident for a few weeks now. We are very smitten with him. #freelancefriends
Been getting the camera out on days when I'm a little down. It's been some good medicine... #FreelanceFriends cc: @theeditingward.bsky.social
We got a new doormat and Barney - not sure if that's approval or disdain. #FreelanceFriends
