Dealing with a client who hasn’t paid and has gone MIA - this has taken up so much of my peace the past 2 weeks. I learnt the hard way that there are very little international laws to protect freelance workers. My country can’t do anything to help, other than to lodge a police report for formality purpose but I am fairly amazed that DOJ has been responsive as the client is American - and although it will take a few weeks, at least something I guess. The good thing about US governing bodies and justice systems is that they have always been polite. I don't know if they are polite to americans but they have been polite to me. My benchmark for response is so low that they shock the bejesus out of me with politeness all the time.

Man, bootstrapping is tough - not the kind you get funded and still complain non stop lol, but the kind you work your arse off to self fund and have responsibilities and stress 24/7.

But all throughout, I do have this sweet boy for comfort. Little things I am grateful for.
