This evening I registered myself as self employed and read about self assessment tax returns, tax working credit, national insurance contributions, invoicing as a freelance etc. My head is spinning! So here's a quick run down on how today was in the office.
- I updated some of the customer contacts and whilst doing this, came across their database of freelance proofreaders/editors of which there were 25. I think that this is perhaps a job that I'd like to be doing ideally but I still need more experience to figure things out!
- I created this week's To Do list which was very cathartic and showed just how much I'd achieved last week.
- I typed up last week's meeting notes on the office move; we have a meeting with the external IT support team tomorrow morning.
- I finished preparing the production copies for storage.
- I amended 2 contracts as instructed, changing some of the finer details and correcting the format of the new book as it was wrong in the draft contract.
- I filled out a post redirection form to send to Royal Mail.
- I learnt how to process invoices.
- I removed staples from a huge stack of A4 paper so that we can use it as scrap paper to print on the other side.
- I finally located the phone number of a phone technician who will help us during the office move and called him to check availability and what services he can offer.
- I arranged a few more London Book Fair appointments, constantly cursing at how slow Excel is on the Mac! It took 6 minutes to edit 4 cells (all I was doing was typing 4 words in each cell).
