***** Beginning of Rant *****
in short, residential work.
yeah, it's done right. yeah, i got paid.
the price was within $25 of what i said it would cost before we started.
apparently, the words "well, do the best you can" is code for
"cut your price in half". i didn't get the memo.
figured not charging them for the two wasted trips across town
was my "doing the best i could".
when he asked me what my hourly rate i was charging him was,
and was told $75, the same as it's been for the last 2 years, i
was told that was an awful lot of money to charge for the little
bit that i did. the irony is that i told him it was half a days work,
plus material. flat rate.
i'm not telling anyone any more what my hourly rate is. it's none
of their business. you want (fill in the blank) done? that's $873,
payable on completion. i accept cash, check, and visa.
took the check, hammered it at the bank it was drawn on, put
money in overpaid pocket. walked away, disgusted.
next time, when i forget this, will one of you just slap me?
