mmm, a meet up group sounds like a good idea...
I've often thought about getting in touch with old friends from college to see where we can help each other out.. just never seem to find the time

was bad around the holidays (but I expected that - always slow for me at that time) but things picked up in January. Knock on wood it stays that way.

Interactive: 9 to 5 agency slow. Freelance keeping steady without much effort. I would say even busier than last year. I only pray the client can pay their invoices though...

Seems to come in streaks. I've had some good opportunities in NY recently.

Wolfboy, you seriously need to work on your salespitch. This is your bio on a design industry site where loads of people including myself look for freelancers:
"I generally go about things half cocked and arse over tit. I've started my own thing now after I was twice made redundant (not by the same company either) and I still need to sort out the webshite and so on.
One day though, things will run smoothly."
This bio does not inspire confidence.
- slightly laidback, what's wrong with that :Pmodernstyle
- haha cant say mines any better.sofakingbanned
- at the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, if YOU don't think you're worth employing, neither will anyone else!vespa
- sofakingbanned, at least yours doesn't sell yourself as a shit designer. you don't have a portfolio tho so you look like a chancer.vespa

Jan was my busiest month in years. Haven't had a day off since Dec. Gonna ride this as long as I can because who knows when things will slow down again. Don't want a repeat of last year.
- what happened last year?magnificent_ruin
- last year was my worst in 5 years. worked like a dog, but was lowballed left and right. Worked just as hard for less.arthur

I think I just asked for the redundanncy now actually. how about that... 3 months. tax free, n a months pay notice or so, n holidays as well I think... some crazy times.

Chicago is pretty busy. last time i went to the meet up group; people definitely felt the slow down but still working and have something lined up. good sign in the windy city.

I always find it strange how some people struggle to find freelance work, while others are tripping over it...
I guess a lucky break goes a long way...
- its about being a savvy entrepreneur in addition to being a good designer. Some have little of either.monkeyshine

Had three days off in all of January. Busy busy busy. Pretty much all flash work. I was kind of hoping that it'd slow down in February but after reading threads like this ... I guess it would be better to try and keep momentum.
I really hope it picks up for all of you who are feeling the slowdown!
