Welcome to CSR Nation

My favorite parts of my job

I like it when everything is scoped and I only have proofing to do, and there is not a whole backlog of pages waiting to be done. I feel like I can breathe.

I like sitting at cafes drinking coffee and scoping and occasionally hitting the Internet. This can be wonderful on a beautiful, to be able to go out and proof outside.

I like sending in a completed job and cleaning off my desk.

Comment by Rhoda Collins on March 24, 2008 at 9:47: Ok, I was 'corrected'...receipts for 'business' lunch/dinner or for travel expenses. NOT all food, lol! I misunderstood!

Comment by Brenda Rogers on March 22, 2008 at 21:22: I had always heard it was business lunches, buying them for clients, whatever, not just stopping for lattes on the run. But, hey, if it works, cool!

Comment by Linda C. on March 22, 2008 at 20:26: Don't know about the States, but in Canada there are restrictions on claiming meals and entertainment as deductions. The maximum part you can claim "is 50% of either the amount you incur or an amount that is reasonable in the circumstances, whichever is less," according to the Canada Revenue Agency on page 17 of this booklet. It doesn't mention how one calculates "reasonable in the circumstances," though! :D

Comment by Rhoda Collins on March 22, 2008 at 18:08: TMI !!!! LOL!

Comment by Rhoda Collins on March 22, 2008 at 13:59: My mom has been doing mine and ALWAYS is reminding me to keep them. I sent them to her, lol. I believe it is ANY work expense as an independent contractor....will ask her details tho, ok??

Comment by Patricia Babits on March 22, 2008 at 13:36: Are you guys sure about the food? My accountant told me it was just if I was buying a client lunch for business reasons, not just buying lunch on the lunch break.

Comment by Rhoda Collins on March 22, 2008 at 10:07: Keep them for next year! :)

Comment by Rhoda Collins on March 22, 2008 at 9:50: Yeah!!! If you freelance, you are an independent contractor....keep ALL receipts from food you get while working!! :) Mileage/supplies/etc keep those receipts and write them off!
