silberma1976 Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 It is Labor Day in the United States. A time when we show appreciation for all those who labor by working a four day week. Take some time this weekend to enjoy a last gasp of summer, appreciation for the ability to use this amazing platform to work when and where you want, and to think about all those who are suffering in Huston. It can get slow here this weekend.Happy Labor Day!Love,Uncle Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcopywriter Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 By not working a full-week? That’s not my experience. Labor day is only one day. Besides, those of us on Fiverr aren’t salary employees, for me to get a break, I either have to finish all my work early or I have to put my gigs on vacation.The day I have nothing to do on Fiverr is a rare day indeed.

I’ve never heard of something like that before, and I imagine that if everyone stopped working for a full week there’d be utter chaos! 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writer99025 Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Please don’t refer to yourself as Uncle Charles. There are many of us here who are as old or older than you. It’s very weird. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_possumist Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I think he means that since most businesses are closed on Labor Day (which is always the first Monday of September) we will only be working 4 out of 5 days this week. Of course, that doesn’t apply to Fiverr work. 😅 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misscrystal Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 @silberma1976 Uncle Charles it says in your profile you are a fiverr Super Seller.I have seen a few other super sellers who have appeared on the forum or in podcasts, or in articles, who have thousands of sales a month but you have slightly under 1000 reviews.I’m curious how they informed you of this? The whole super seller thing is a puzzle to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fonthaunt Posted September 4, 2017 Share Posted September 4, 2017 Sorry you feel that way. Sincerely, Uncle CharlesMaybe Uncle Charles would not be as bad as “Your” uncle charles since it kind of sounds like the reader is forced to have someone they don’t know as an uncle. (Perhaps my area is too southern, but where I live men who call themselves uncle and aren’t related tend to have questionable intentions.) It also reminds me of the ones who call everyone “dear” and that’s not my thing either. Anyway, I agree with @writer99025 writer on this one but I’m also old and currently cranky.

The whole super seller thing is a puzzle to me.Super seller is not an official Fiverr title. I was featured in the Blog twice as a Super Seller. So it comes from being featured in the Blog under that title. Plus, my middle initil is S and my last name starts with S, so it all works out. Super Seller. I can say that is my real middle and last name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastcopywriter Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I mean it in a playful way. I could call myself Drunk Uncle. I am an Uncle in real life too.LOL, I’m also an uncle and call myself “evil uncle” with my nephew. I take my evil nephew to R-rated horror movies, I tell him the truth about the world, how horrible bosses can be, how hard it can be to keep a job, what happens if you don’t choose the right career, etc.I’m the uncle I always wanted to have. The only rule my sister has is that I can’t undermine her. So, no trips to the gun range until he’s 18. I’m proud of my nephew, I just hope he makes the right choices. Hope he picks a safe career like engineering, finance, law, software development, etc. Pray he doesn’t go into advertising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonbaas Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Well, I feel the need to chime in here. I’m an uncle too.I’m pretty sure you can guess what my nieces and nephews call me. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woofy31 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 And I’m an Uncle as of last week, which makes me the Young Uncle and probably the youngest uncle of all (assuming that most of the forum members are uncles 😄 so far it appears so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
