katakatica Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 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 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brejay Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatsmauri Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I was great at Fiverr-ing once, but then I took an arrow to the knee…However...please, don’t take it seriously 😛 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irmartinezz Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 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!

latenitemedia1 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrproofreading Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgjohn78 Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
