@EmilyPenny @matthewadamhook is frequently working in this way. me occasionally, but don't have the structure to do it consistently yet.

As a team-based set up without permanent staff, I'm looking to connect with others working this way. Not freelance, not agency. I think it's a great model but I haven't found my tribe. Who is doing it and wants to chat? Any groups for micro agency owners? Connections appreciated!

How you doing? Take part in our annual survey into #selfemployment and #mentalhealth. It's anonymous, and every response supports us to support more #freelancers. (People also say the process is quite like a mini-therapy-session!) leapers.co/research/2022

@keano81 buying clean urine from a 14 year old doesn't count amy, it doesn't count.

Don’t wanna make you all feel jealous cos that’s not my vibe but also I went to the doctor this morning for a general check-up and she described my urine sample as “pristine”

You're seeing all the posts about mental health - but you're thinking "I'm freelance - where's the mental health at work support for me?" leapers.co/articles/2022-…

@dan_gerstmann what's a coaster?

@dan_gerstmann what's a mouse mat?

Would you let a rando work from your kitchen table? thinkplaymake.medium.com/co-work-from-h…

@emmagannon At least six. Don't ask me how many domains i own 🤦‍♂️

random question.. how many email addresses do you have? I have three for different things and wondering if this is weird or normal.

@katelallyx 2-3-3-3

When reading out your mobile number do you do five-three-three (digits) or use another way?

@DIFTK First day back and I realise I don't have any work. Poop.

@MPSRichmond helicopters and loads of sirens around St Margarets / A316, everything okay?

@EimearFreelance @JournalistJill @CostaCoffee Try finding a place that serves cold brew, it's a different more pleasant experience.

@JournalistJill I asked the @CostaCoffee girl for the most 'coffee' iced coffee with least amount of milk (I hate milky drinks). She made me an iced Americano. It was... Cold watery coffee.

Had my first ever #icedcoffee today. It was rank. Did I do it wrong? I'm just not grasping its popularity.

@GeorgieR30 I force them to hug me until they mysteriously immediately find plenty of other things to do.

Parent Twitter - how do you usually respond with the deluge of 'I'm bored' on repeat from your kids? I've taken my three swimming and to McDonalds today. Still they moan. I'm sure I wasn't this demanding when I was little. Is it our fault for pandering to them too much?!

@keano81 Woooo! I tried it once. Didn't like all the standing up. Swapped for a kayak.

Did a paddle boarding class today and stood up on it. So I AM NOW OFFICIALLY A PADDLE BOARDER
