UKNM: Neil it's called symbiosis

[Lois Grayson]

Ok honey live your life as you will and dislike those who live it

differently.

It's symbiotic. Companies need instant resource and additional brain power

sometimes. Freelancers need clients. Respect is due from each to each.


As for freelance fumbling, I know the syndrome. With my first in-house

contract I was so unsure whether I deserved the �250 a day I'd asked for (6

years ago) I felt guilty about stopping for food. So there are two sorts of

fumbling - the taking the piss type (it does happen) and the insecure

type(I'm not worth the money so I shouldn't stop for a second).


The other thing that is difficult to handle when you contract in-house is

how to line up the next project without cutting into the current clients'

time. At the end of the day it's a matter of conscience for the freelancer;

value for money is up to the client to judge.


This will really piss you off Neil - I'm a Buddhist. Don't think you've

hurled the adjective sanctimonious at me yet, here's your chance.


No more postings on this subject from me. The wind-up's been great, thank

you! As long as you're happy with life (which you obviously are) ;-)
