When I first became self employed
a client paid me to spend a day stuffing envelopes.
1. I stuffed loads (can't remember how many but must have been a few hundred - low hundreds?).
2. I got into a routine and had quite the production line going.
3. They were personalised so I needed to pay attention and no dinosaur naps.
4. I really enjoyed myself, it was so satisfactory - only lasted a week but all part of starting out in your business.
5. And this was before self sticking stamps so even had to lick (
) the stamps (the water spongey thingy didn't hold its own).
6. When you're paid to do something for your customers (yes Jack your Patreon people are customers) we bloody well do it, on time, to a high standard and without belittling / threatening / bullying them - it's called business, to provide us an income to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table - whether that be shitty bungalow and slop, or other more palatable options.
7. Been reading the threads but not commenting much because I've been BUSY ok? but Congrats Cabel you bunch of superior ninnies on reaching thread 100
I absolutely love your wit, receipts, detective work and above all holding Jack to account, it's just not cricket to be deceitful and press gang people into giving money when they can least afford it.
Oohh, I feel much lighter now, thankyou Matt very much and chefs kiss to you all
. Must go, I've got to meet my bubble buddy Jimmy Nail for a socially disanced lap of the park to try and persuade him to rerelease the the top pop track with cracking lyrics as our thread anthem. Laterz y'all.
