q4) Freelancers are also clients of other businesses. Does anyone have a really great example of a fantastic goodbye? How have you incorporated those tactics into your transition plan?

q3) What's your advice to other freelancers - what else can you do to make this client remember you fondly? How do you balance "enough" - a warm goodbye w/o going overboard? What opportunities do you think folks miss?

q2) Client work creates stuff - deliverables, shared tech, shared space, intellectual property (IP), etc.
What are your tactics for handover? Do you keep backups? For how long? What about passwords?

q1) It's time - your contract with your client is about to end. How soon do you start preparing for the transition from current to past client? Do you use a checklist? Do you "wing" it? Does your industry have standards to guide you?

Hello #FreelanceFriends! Happy Thursday to all who celebrate! I'm Amy (designer/dev) posting from a gorgeous Lincoln. Supposed to be sunny and high of 70! Summer's last gasp it appears. POTW = found this little friend on campus last week. Isn't he adorable??

Just received the annual "Error Resolution Policy" for Google Pay. It was sent with a (seemingly) genuine Google branded domain email address. Gmail spam filter decides it's spam. Not that I disagree, but not sure what that says about the filter algorithm quality. hmmmm.

Mentioning big dogs - I had to dig out this photo of me from *a long time ago* with Auggie and Octavia. I was their usual pet-sitter and favorite chaos enabler. We had SO MUCH FUN. They're both long gone and I still miss them terribly.

Happy THURSDAY and HALLOWEEN EVE #FreelanceFriends! I'm Amy posting from a slightly frozen Lincoln. I'm a web/graphic/instr designer who dabbles in the dark arts of calligraphy, lettering and photography. We have 4 "familiars" here, but have to give Barney his due. It's his favorite time of year.

That may have happened before, or she got caught on a blanket and rolled off the couch. She's far too sedentary and stubborn for our good. (And drama - the drama is VERY strong with her.)
Here she (shorthair) is with Moe, our tuxedo. And they are **almost** touching.

Yes! And they also keep pet hair off things between cleanings. And sometimes even keep the pets out of the things.

Let's get this party started! Intros and updates as we begin this unstructured "open mic" week.
I'm Amy posting from an overcast Lincoln! This week I'm a overwhelmed organizer and catcher-uper. (So much so that I'm making up words!)
