Thanks, Zara Altair - it's short, but poignant.
ReplyDeleteIt's triggered a ton of stuff in my head, including the infographic "The Three Golden Rules of Invoicing for Non-Contracted Freelancers", which I've been meaning to create for an age. #WhereDoesTheTimeGo?
Jason Darrell You are writing that now, yes? :) Can't wait to read.

Jason Darrell Short with infographic works...and well. :)
