A bit of fun - "The Freelancer's Prayer"

Jul 22, 2013

Here's the idea.

We crowdsource create a "freelancer's prayer".

Just copy everything from the post above, and add a couple of lines - the more "prayer-like" the better.

I will start...

Dear <enter personal deity here>

"...Please help me to check my contracts daily, and ensure "scope-creep" is charged as an additional cost.

Grant me forgiveness if I should send a voiceover track to a client which still has a curse or burp within...."

..Please pay me on time, to ensure that I can feed myself and my family. Please don't be offended when I send you a reminder and threaten to charge additional fees or to send in the boys....

Lord, let me be the freelancer only I can be.

When I need a professional American character-voice - let Andy Bowyer help me;

and when I am in the weeds with an interaction that is failing - let Phil of Mayor be my Guide and Saviour. For he is mighty of variable, and swift of Trigger".

Dear Lord - please invent a Tivo box that has enough disk space to record all the programmes I missed while enjoying that "work-life balance".
