As a freelancer, there are days when you feel like you’re on top of the world. You’re in charge of your own schedule, you get to work on projects that you’re passionate about, and you don’t have to answer to anyone else.
But let’s be real: there are also days when being a freelancer (or, “independent contractor,” if you’d prefer) feels like a never-ending slog through a minefield of deadlines, difficult clients, and uncertainty about where your next paycheck is coming from.
If you’re a freelancer, chances are you’ve probably turned to memes as a way to cope with the highs and lows of your chosen profession. These freelancer memes have become a kind of online support group for those of us who work for ourselves. Whether you’re laughing at the absurdity of a client’s unreasonable demands or commiserating with other freelancers about the struggle to stay motivated, there’s a meme out there that perfectly captures the feeling.
Just try not to bill your clients for the time spent reading these memes. Or actually, maybe you should, we won’t tell anyone.
