one client called off the monthly regular work that paid both rents (room and workingspace).
waiting for another client's appointment for 3 weeks now.
other client canceled.and there's this project that should have started in June and was postponed to October...and...won't happen.
The last three months it's very slow and partially my fault cause I didn't look for other gigs.
I was so full of work and personal projects that I thought what I had would keep me going until the end of the year.
Unless the next meeting bring something good I guess I won't be able to renew my annual Adobe subscription.
And if that happens that will be a major blow...
On the upside I was invited to a Christmas Party in a Youth Center I work with and they asked if I would like to give Stencil Workshop on that day and for the regular price.
- keep it going ... try new sources of incomedocpoz
- I hear you. I know I have to move more. my new business cards come next week ;-) website will be done hopefully until the end of he year.oey
- And I will try to have a meeting in this creative network/agency that works with schools and youth centers.oey
- I know lots of people that need a website, they say it themselves and I know it's true, but they also say they don't have money right now.oey
- are those upvotes from affinity fans? or xmas party fans? LOL!oey
- If shit gets real tough it might be worth sending Adobe a nice email asking for some leeway. If you've been a client for years then they might not be c*ntsmicrokorg
- If you can't pay for it just crack iti_was
- I've cracked it for 20 years :-) but right now it would be better to keep it legal cause of state support to open businessoey
- @ micro I've been a good cracking clientoey
- Have you been paying into the social security system? If so, you can problably get Arbeitslosengeld to tide you over, but you have to have paid into it.Continuity
- If worst comes to worst, you could get Arbeitslosengeld II (Hartz IV). It's not much, and it doesn't feel good, but it helps keep your head above water.Continuity
- I already receive HARZ IV but reduced. I received Einstiegsgeld but only for 6 months. I had to make a business plan.oey
- I thought they would renew it but no. I ask for money for a computer, a printer and a camera. they said they wouldn't give me the money for the last two items..oey
- ...cause I don't need them in my profession (graphic designer). my laptop is 9 years old.oey
- ...cause I don't need them in my profession (graphic designer). my laptop is 9 years old.oey
- they said i could save money from what they would give me to buy a new one. but the money i received 250 was basically for the studio rent. that's it.oey
- and HARZ IV as you know everything I receive above 100/150€ 80% is for the unemployment center.oey
- LOL!...I really can't complain that much when it comes to that also if I made a bad deal or wasn't awarded correctly to my needs. but the client stuff...fuck!oey
