Here’s what Google says about Mondayitis:
Mondayitis is a neologism used in pop culture to describe the tired and apathetic feeling many experience upon the return to work after the weekend. Mondayitis is the same as having a case of the Mondays. A possible reason for Mondayitis is that human circadian rhythms are incompatible with the […]
Though “nobody’s perfect,” no one likes to fail. So much so that they don’t want to experience or even talk about it. But that’s unrealistic, because even the best fail at one point or another. The failure may have been due to human error or a stroke of bad luck. Whatever the cause, you will […]
Here’s a snippet I found on Cinematics Happenings Under Development (courtesy of 101 Reasons to Stop Writing):
Stop writing screenplays and start freelancing for fancy mags like Vanity Fair, The Atlantic, and Sister 2 Sister. Sure, your wacky torture porn/family drama spec script is collecting dust (“It’s basically Hostel meets Something To Talk About. Wait….where are […]
At first glance, the wireless extension cord (pictured above) may seem irrelevant, even if its traditional counterpart (wired) sometimes doubles as a trip wire. That’s because you’ve probably tucked away those messy wires on your desk, meaning there’s no more need for an extension cord in that area. But we freelancers are a creative bunch, […]
Like it or not, making a living exclusively through freelancing isn’t the most stable gig in the world. Oh yes, there will be times when the supply of money seems endless, and you pat yourself on the back for leaving that limiting 9 to 5.
But other times, you’ll find yourself scrounging the couch for loose […]
Nothing is more embarrassing than calling up a client living in a different time zone, only to discover it’s 2 am wherever he is. Congratulations! You’ve become known as the Sleep Killer (cue lightning). Clients back out of their contracts, just so they’re sure you won’t ruin their beauty sleep.
Just kidding. Accidentally waking up your […]
Say hello to yet another Monday! And since we’ve talked about hitting the ground running on the first day of the work week, perhaps a post on productivity tools will help you get started.
Check out Codswallop’s extensive list covering 100 Web Apps for Everything You Will Possibly Need (thanks for the heads-up Doug!). Here are […]
While following links on Wikipedia (Superman once led me to Nenets Autonomous Okrug), I came across this section of the article on Copyright:
Under the Berne Convention, copyrights for creative works do not have to be asserted or declared, as they are automatically in force at creation: an author need not “register” or “apply for” a […]
Say hello to Office Tweaks, a new addition (sort of) to b5media.
The great thing about b5media (the blog network Contract Worker is proudly part of) is that it has 200+ blogs in its roster. While nobody can follow 200 blogs on a regular basis, chances are you’ll find several blogs that cover the topics you […]
Another reason why freelancers ask for your portfolio (aside of course from wanting to see your capabilities) is their interest in your consistency.
While past performance doesn’t guarantee future returns, the fact is that a freelancer or contract worker who consistently produces high-quality output—to spec and on time—is more appealing. So aside from highlighting your professionalism […]
