As long as it takes you to purchase one latte and drink it, Mike. 😉 Starbucks sells atmosphere, but I think if a bunch of writers are hogging tables all day, the company might want a change in atmospheric conditions… 😉

You know what might be fun? If we got like 50 freelancers to do a 'sit in' in a cafe with their laptops and cell phones.

I just wonder how long it would take til we all got thrown out.

When I announced to a couple of acquaintances that I was beginning a new Freelance Writing business, they sort of snorkled. I was a little insulted.

The only latte I can afford is a La Te Da.

Thanks for the great resource Lori! I have yet to land one, but I’m going to keep applying to the jobs you post.

Amen, nikki! It’s a huge disservice to those of us who have struggled to survive (and are still struggling to some extent). If this kind of stereotype gains momentum, we’re going to have to work three times as hard to overcome it. It’s just irresponsible of those who insist life is all rosy from the freelance perspective. Bite me, I say! LOL

Let’s not forget those of us freelancers who can’t afford the latte to begin with! I spend more time feeling unemployed than I do employed! Maybe the author should write about that!
