Freelancing?

Hi guys,

I am wondering if anyone else out there is doing any freelance work, and if so- how are you going about it? (getting paid, timetables, communication etc.) My girlfriend kind of finagled me into designing a business card for her boss, free of charge. I am also doing a postcard for her aunt who owns a store, for a free dinner someday. Basically all good opportunities, but no pay and added work on top of an already crazy schedule. Anyone else feeling it? Anyone getting paid?

what's your favorite web resource

So I am posing this as incentive for people to post links to sites that they have found helpful for tutorials, jobs, design information, really anything that you have found that has helped you be a better designer. I want to eventually post all of the links on the Ad Club website and my own website as a constantly evolving resource list.

I have 1 site that I love because they do a website of the week (usually they are really inspirational sites for really good design) and they have all the basics for dimensions, folds, and they have free templates for some stuff like standard size folders.
