Working for and with other people can be a huge pain in the backside. However, it does also give you something that working for yourself doesn't.

I''m not sure what that is exactly, perhaps it's just solidarity, but I totally get where you're coming from.

I 'proper work' about 3-6 days most months now, and It's quite nice.

When I had 6 months just to myself earlier this year it was starting to do my head in.
