ssj1236 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I’ve been here for almost 4 years and never have things gotten as bad as they are now. It’s soon going be day 4 without any orders and it doesn’t look like things are going to get good anytime soon. During droughts like this I would always bring in some people from my social channels to keep things going but that doesn’t seem to be the case this time. Almost no one is planning on doing anything till the quarantine is over.The worst part is our government has no plans of helping out during these challenging times. I have some savings but they’ll barely last until May. I hope things are at least going well for others. On that note, how are you getting through all this free time? I can’t even remember when I last had a day off so I just feel weird and anxious all-day 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artistshop Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Things have been pretty rough in past couple of weeks and since the world hasn’t see the peak of this pandemic, I too think next few weeks are not going to be any different either. I have had repeat customers so I have had something to do in quarantine but they won’t keep coming. I was in the middle of conversation for few projects when lockdown in US happened and buyers postponed the projects saying they don’t know how COVID-19 is going to impact their business so they’d hold for now.It’s same for everyone I guess since the entire world is facing this pandemic, some more than others. All we gotta do is to wait and hope for the things to get better. Regarding doing something in quarantine, I’d suggest enroll in some courses, learn a new skill. This can be the time one always wanted to learn something new but never got before. Apart from that, it’s a waiting game. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 We can get through this time. Just stay away from people and keep washing your hands throughout the day. Stay inside! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanda5 Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hi @ssj1236 … Stay safe and indoors…I am getting a bit of orders time to time from medical-related designs. But I am not sure how long it will go on like this…We are on tight curfew 24/7 in my province in Sri Lanka… it’s tough but it’s also for everyone’s own good…I just 🙏 everyone stays safe… 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t even remember when I last had a day off so I just feel weird and anxious all-dayI have some savings but they’ll barely last until May.Don’t worry. If things get tough, you can crash with me for free rent and food. All you will need to do is clean and kill my enemies.Sadly, I don’t have any other advice than that. Apparently hand washing is big at the moment. However, soap suds hardly pay the bailiffs.All that said, you could dress as a doctor and go door to door offering to wash other people’s hands. Just remember to put some fine print on your stethoscope saying "Not an Actual Doctor."Other than that, all you can do is live as austerely as possible. 😦. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samanimran Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 I’ve been stressed out because im neither getting new orders nor new messages. The clients i was talking to before this began, are not interested in the projects till this is over. But knowing that im not the only one to go through this is heartening. Hopefully we’ll come out of this soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vickiespencer Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Hello, @ssj1236; like Miss C, I too wanted to say, “Hello.”I am sorry for your loss of sales. For now, my regulars are sporadically returning to place orders, which I am thankful for. I also have a small teacher pension that helps quite a bit. I will send positive vibes your way now and from time to time in the future. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
