First comic freelancer: I have to be online at 9am.
Me (doesn't even have a bedside clock in the first place): Zzzzz....

I used to think that my life would look like in the picture of the guy sitting under the palm at the beach with a computer on his lap.

My cat *is* my alarm clock. Every morning, 0730. It begins with quietly jumping on the bed and staring fixedly at me to get my attention. If I don't open my eyes, there's a lot of nuzzling with paws, against me, and walking along the top of me. As soon as I open my eyes she jumps off the bed and waits for me to get up. OK here's the cat picture:

Tom, this cat picture must be one of your most positive contributions in these forums. Still, the kitty does look rather disgruntled...
I can relate to some of these comics.

Still wouldn't change the freelancing life for anything. ▲ Collapse

Funnily, until I read Tom's comment, I realized that what I had read (in my mind) was:
"Tom, this cat picture must be one of the most positive contributions in these forums."
Maybe that is what Anna actually meant...
By the way, lovely cat, Tom. I really enjoy reading your post.

Nothing better than cuddles before breakfast.

Does she know when the clocks change? A friend's dog suddenly went from being a 6am alarm clock to being a 5am alarm clock...
