My first logo job turned into a money pit because I didn't set a revision limit.

I agreed to design a logo for a local coffee shop for $150 flat. The owner kept asking for 'just one more small change' over email. I ended doing 23 rounds of revisions over three weeks. I basically worked for less than $2 an hour. Has anyone else learned to put a hard cap on revisions the hard way?

My wife told me my arrangements looked 'too safe' and it stung.

My brother said something similar about my photography last year. It took a while to hear it, but he was right. Started taking more risks after that.

I swore by PVA glue for years until a rainy week in Portland changed my mind

Oh man, I feel that. Humidity just wrecks some glues. That wheat paste tip is a good one, I should try that on my next older book.

Shoutout to the person who said to try frozen dumplings in the air fryer

Wait, have you tried it with the thinner wonton wrappers? I did some frozen mini wontons and they dried out way too much in the air fryer, got kind of tough. The thicker dumpling skin seems key for it to work right.

I used to think late fees were a bad idea until a guy in Boise ghosted me for $800

Wait, he actually signed a contract? That changes everything.
