you've just reminded me I need to get some popsocks!
Oh well, I guess I'll have to go shopping tomorrow. What a pity

Look on the bright side - they can't ask you to do jobs within the hour before you've had your bath and morning coffee
Which is what one of my best clients did today! Then I was late with the next job, and... you know the story. Now I have to get dressed before my husband comes home for supper
Enjoy the colleagues and enjoy being really O... See more

Dear Orla,
The Gaelic-speaking woman that cheers up forums with her sympathy
A job that means commuting... pity in this age of teleworking. But if you are glad with your new activity, and you think it will be the best thing you do, then go ahead.
Wish you very good luck (that's my title).
GreetingZ from far-away Montevideo,
Fabio

Enjoy, have fun back in the "real world" with the satisfaction of knowing that if it doesn't work out as planned, you'll be welcome back here with open arms.
We don't know each other from a bar of soap, but I've always enjoyed your posts and sense of humour.
Greetings from Algarve
Debs

Well, this is my last day as a freelancer, so this is just a little note to say thanks to everybody here on Proz for the hours of help, encouragement, reading and indeed, entertainment over the years.
Hi Orla,
I am sure this is a good decision for your mental and physical health. Apart from doing translation I conduct city tours on a freelance basis as well. I realize how well I can sleep at night if I finish the day with 2 tours, whereas it would be a long, difficult struggle to fall into sleep after translating late into the evening.
Well, translating is rewarding, in the way that you constantly learn new things, and it is demanding, in the way that your can't just shut down your mind as you like.
Best,
Bin

I was offered a similar change yesterday and the very same day I said 'no' as I intend to resume my French and German lessons and Gastronomy in January.
I wish you have a great deal of fun in this new stage of your career.
All the best from Mexico City!

...having recently done the same thing and today just banked the first pay cheque I can testify to some significant benefits in the odd spell away from freelancing.
And there are so many ways to spend commuting time.
Cheers

In Memoriam | Please tell us how you adapt | Oct 19, 2007 |
When I quit my job at a public agency years ago, I swore I would never again be anyone's employee. Now and then I would even have nightmares about having to go back, but I never did. I could never even consider it.
Please tell us how you adapt. I don't think it's easy going from freelance back to employee. Of course, there may be other perks involved that make it attractive.

It all depends on your character, personality and ect. I've never had an office job because I can't get along with people I dislike . What makes it worse is that poeple know it immediately if I don't like them.
This is me.

thanks guys It is going to be a quite a change, but the job itself is a nice transition, which should ease the pain somewhat. I'll be working with the Irish language and with the same client profile as before (govt & EU bodies) but at a consultant level. The job is suited to someone used to working on their own and it has a lot of scope - it is whatever I make it. So fingers xed!
I just couldn't take another year of rate negotiations, late payments and mundane boring texts, so I started looking around for other roles with a good all-round package. I can't get a mortgage on a freelancer salary and I'd like to get my own place at some stage. So there you have it.
As long as I've got a fully charged iPod and book, I guess I'll manage the train journey just fine

... and welcome back to the real world.
I have to commute twice or three times a week and find it pain in the neck.
Keep us posted.
