Month full of birthdays and projects

Do I love August?
It’s the time of the year I go broke. There are at least 5 birthdays in this month alone. I’m not counting friends’ birthdays because I don’t celebrate birthday with friends. These are family and extended family members, including my beloved.

I’m glad the month is over and I’m grateful to have completed a few freelance projects. It helps to supplement my spending on birthday celebrations.

Most freelancers will require upfront partial payment, but out of good will, I never collect money from clients, especially clients through referrals. I want to trust my clients that they will not cheat me.

I think “trust” is important to maintain a fair and good working relationship. The work gets done, the client is happy and I’m happy.

Busy weekend

I’m going to be drowned in work this weekend. Other than the classes, I have got a freelance project in hand.

This was unexpected because the agent has a difficult clients who rejected 2 designs from another designer. I did a draft very quickly yesterday and told him that if it isn’t what the client wants, I won’t take up the project since it is weekend.

Surprisingly the client accepted and requested to make a few changes here and there. I have to work on it tonight. At the same time, the project sort of came at the right time because I need to fix my car alarm and central locking system next week. I can use this extra income to get it done.

Meanwhile the bf is away on location. A couple is getting their wedding photos done in Camerons today. He will be spending a night there.

Hopefully I can get my work done and we can then spend some time together on Sunday.
