- Walking out of the door of your salaried job is the most liberating and terrifying thing you could do. You’re going it alone. You are a hella brave, independent woman.
- Initially you will be broke AF.
- Où est la motivation?
- Working from home is 10% staring blankly at your laptop and 90% loading the dishwasher/ feeding the dog/ painting the ceiling and loitering in Sainsbury’s cafe.
- There will be a painfully long period between securing work and receiving money.
- Your supportive but sceptical significant other will tell everyone you’ve retired.
- You will wish you were 68 so you could actually retire.
- You will feel like a small child/ lady of the night when you sheepishly ask your parents/ significant other for money. Again.
- You will miss your work wife more than anything.
- Student Loans Company will find you, and they will kill you.
- When the hairdresser/ plumber / bank manager asks what you do for a living you will tell them you are a housewife because CBA to admit you are not Karen Brady yet.
- You wish you could be a legit housewife.
- It feels really really great to secure a contract. You’ve made it. You are A SUCCESS!
- You can go on holiday whenever you like and be irritatingly smug about it. Hint: cheapest flights seem to be on Tuesdays!
- You will wear exclusively jogging bottoms, probably with stains on.
- You will do all your shopping online because you are always in for Derek your DPD driver 😉
- You can hang out with your grandma in the afternoons.
- And watch Pointless.
- And spend your “allowance” on fancy stationery.
- And worry that you’ve forgotten how to behave in an office environment.
- People will ask you what your life plan is and you will worry you’ve made an enormous mistake.
- Your dog will get bored of you.
- You will feel like the ultimate #bossbabe when you hand out your fancy ass new business card.
- You will hear lengthy traffic jam reports on breakfast radio and not care one bit.
- Did I mention you can watch Pointless?
