To avoid this, I just wake up and take a shower, but still wear my slippers through the entire day. I find this make people rather jelous 😛

Romina what wonderful observations! Nadie cree lo que hacemos los traductores ni las exigencias de tener siempre trabajos urgentes. Un abrazo desde Australia … las condiciones son iguales en todo el mundo. Mil gracias por distraerme un rato y hacerme reir!! And I can’t stop myself from correcting other people’s grammar either.

It is sometimes true. Not necessarily so though. But we’re free to work in our slippers and eat yesterday’s leftovers if we want to, and that’s one of the very cool things about freelancing 🙂 (Just make sure you don’t have a skype video call before you combed your hair and had a shave and a shower though :))
