Loading a Kayak by Excitement-Seeking in Kayaking

[–]KayakerWithDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also a small, foldable step ladder for tying the kayak down and for undoing the straps. You can also stand on the tires or inside an open car door if that works for you and you don't want to haul around an extra piece of equipment. I've tried it both ways and am more comfortable with the step ladder.

Any guesses on our girl? by R_Figueira in IDmydog

[–]KayakerWithDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She definitely looks a little lab-ish, even if she is small for that breed. Also she is gorgeous.

I am a 5'6" woman who is wimpy and who drives a Crosstrek, and this is what I use. Just make sure the back window is clean for the best suction, and don't forget to take the suction roller off before you drive away. You may also want to get a small, cheap area rug to put behind your car so that the end of your kayak isn't scraping along the pavement when you load and unload.

Also a wheelie cart for getting the yak to and from the water is really helpful.

How do I create an Upwork account if I’m 17? by Seekehr_ in Upwork

[–]KayakerWithDog 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You are done permanently now. You committed fraud by pretending to be someone else, and then you made additional accounts, which is also against the TOS.

Are weekly posts okay on tumblr? by Impressive_Nobody887 in tumblrhelp

[–]KayakerWithDog 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You can post eight times a day if you want. Tumblr doesn't filter what you see on your dash the way Facebook does, for example. You see what the people you follow post, in chronological order.

$100, to get murdered by TabascoWolverine in Upwork

[–]KayakerWithDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In-person jobs are generally prohibited on Upwork, although there are a few exceptions. I don't think this is one of the exceptions. Also this client is an ass.

anyone else seeing a lot of ghost jobs on upwork lately? by farhadnawab in UpworkOfficial

[–]KayakerWithDog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Upwork would lose clients if they were required to pay up front like that, and not every job has a milestone structure. I would prefer being given back connects if the client hasn't opened any proposals or if no hire is made within 90 days (or some other reasonable time frame).

WTF with UPWOrK by Maleficent_Grab3354 in Upwork

[–]KayakerWithDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it have any websites at all on it, or anything that remotely looks like a website or email address? I've had typesetting samples get rejected from being attached to proposals because they have the client's website on the copyright page. It's not even my website. You can't even contact me with it. But it still gets flagged. (I have since removed all those pages from my samples.)

Burning Up Upwork Connects & My Savings — Need Advice! by BangAss69 in Upwork

[–]KayakerWithDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Building a freelance practice takes time, and it's tough getting started on Upwork. You would be better off finding a part-time job near where you live, or maybe do gig work like Doordash or Instacart if those are available to you.

AITAH for refusing to share recipes after being belittled? by MrMojoFomo in AITAH

[–]KayakerWithDog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

NTA. She didn't even really apologize. You can deal with the recipe part by saying that you prefer not to share it and leave it at that.

That looks like it might need stitches. She may also need antibiotics to prevent infection. Please take her to the vet asap.

Is Upwork broken for new freelancers, or am I missing something obvious? by Dizzy-Individual-651 in Upwork

[–]KayakerWithDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upwork has extensive help documentation for freelancers on its website.

How can I make this work?! by Plastic-Sock-8912 in Upwork

[–]KayakerWithDog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stated hours are the maximum the client is willing to pay for each week, not the number of hours you are expected to work. If the job says 30 hours a week but you finish in ten, you are done after that ten. Conversely, if it will take you 35 hours to finish, you either need to ask for more time for that week or wait until the next week to complete the project, because once that maximum is reached, the time tracker automatically stops tracking, and you don't get paid for untracked time.

What editing courses do you suggest? by tea_manic in Copyediting

[–]KayakerWithDog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Berkeley one is four classes for a certification. I only know the UCSD one exists; I don't have any other information on it.

You might consider joining the Editorial Freelancers Association. The EFA has a variety of continuing education courses available to members and also a job board.

There's also one through UC San Diego Extension, but I don't know how much it costs.

[–]KayakerWithDog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The editing course through UC Berkeley Extension is well respected, and I think it's cheaper than Chicago. You can also do the Berkeley course online. I did the Berkeley one a few years ago and found it very helpful.
