Haha :) I was just in the state when I can not handle going at the same place and sit there from 9 to 6 everyday anymore :)

I know that feeling! Sometimes you don't have a choice though (if you want to keep feeding you kids :P)
Yeah, that's true :) sometimes the safeness of a permanent position is quite important.
I gone freelancing only after I had some saving behind together with more or less frequent freelance orders. Plus I don't have anyone to take care that time so it was worth it to try. So I completely understand you.
:) and the other important thing is, most of my work I've done at work is always under pretty strict NDA's so it's quite hard for me to show it of in public.
I was a freelance photographer for 5 years (glorious time!), until my kids had special needs at school that we have to pay for ourselves. Now I prefer some steady income for a while.
Yeah, i can imagine that such circumstances need the steady income of a permanent position. and also the possibilities to just call in sick at one day and still get payed is also a good thing. cause kids get sick all the time :D
Yeah I can imagine :D the "problem" is, I really like my actual job and I have a pretty good senior position. But still, I love the possibilities that come along with freelance work.
Then sounds it's still better to keep freelancing as a backup for you. You can start freelance anytime. And it's really like a divorce when you are telling people in the office that you are going away. We had been like a friends with guys in the office but then for about a year we both was feeling that brake keeping silence.
Yeah... I will probably try to start freelancing while still working for my company and try to make it a soft transition ;)
