Freelance Injuries

[silberma1976]

I got a nasty paper cut on my thumb opening a box of pastries. Now I am typing funny. What Freelancing injuries have you sustained that slowed your production or ability to work?

Upset Tummy 💩

back pain 😦

I hate that thing 😕

[zubairfb]

Neck ache, specially when client asks for more than 2 revisions…

Charles,

I started to type a smart *** response, but that might get me flagged. I’m a sarcastic person and it’s hard (downright painful) for me to hold back, especially when someone opens the door!

I’m guessing you are joking? 😆

Nearly cut off my finger while cooking (I was supposed to be writing but wanted goulash more than words, so…) now it hurts like a witch. Not because of freelancing but it does make me unable to write at my usual speed 😃

Headaches, migraines

[lloydsolutions]

I was volunteering today and got a nasty wasp sting. It is painful and I could opt out of Fiverr for today but Fiverr forum is addictive and here I am! 🙂

One time while I was on Fiverr I fell down 5 flight of stairs, broke a leg, suffered an aneurysm, nose bleeding, twisted my arm, stubbed my toe, and suffered a bullet wound it was pretty hectic

That is very funny. Ha ha

I once wrote for 13 hours in a single day. Apparently staring at a screen that long causes headaches lack of motivation the next day. No more procrastinating for me.

Bloodshot eyes when awake all night.

[thatsmauri]

I was great at Fiverr-ing once, but then I took an arrow to the knee…

However...

please, don’t take it seriously 😛

[irmartinezz]

Severe headaches are probably the worst ones I ever seem to get, but they are always on the bloody day before an order; requiring the endurance of the pain.

Unfortunately, it’s just one of those things you’ve got to push past as best you can when it comes to freelancing!

[jonbaas]

Emotional pain and suffering. From dealing with not-so-great buyers. 😉

[thevideostore]

Cold Sores O_o Put me out of video work for a minimum of 4-6 days most of the time =/
But I take them as “vacations” =)

[latenitemedia1]

I got a sore throat once from yelling “are you kidding me?” when a buyer gave me 4 star feedback with the comment “Perfect, couldn’t be any better.”

Does that count?

[zeus777]

Dry eyes. Lower back pain. Neck/shoulder pain. Paper cuts.
Oh, I pricked my finger with a pin.
I also fell off my chair while working, I think I was working on a translation when something
fell from my desk, I tried picking it up without getting out of my chair…and I kissed the ground.

And oh, I sometimes pull my hair out when I encounter annoying buyers…
so…baldness…???

[xander52]

I get severe cases of mild sleeplessness when I stay up a bit later then intended delivering that last order. 😂

I’m currently receiving physio treatment for medial epicondylitis (golfer’s elbow) thanks to a combination of Fiverr and the gym. The struggle is real!

[mgjohn78]

Freelancing on fiverr i mostly got headaches from looking at the screen too long but i did break my big toe on the way to the office once.
In offline freelancing i had loads of injuries over the years, broke my right hand once when lifting heavy equipment alone instead of calling someone to help. Got lead poisoning when removing old paint.
Busted my back so bad that i couldn’t wear socks or shoes for a month, still was stubborn and tried to go to work in flip flops but that failed because once i arrived i couldn’t get out of the car no matter what i tried. But on the positive side due to my downtime i got in to online work.
