I'll take a bit of a cut since he can't use what I gave him but my time is still valuable.
Oh hell no you won't. You're being paid for your time, period. Right now, he thinks he can get you to drop your rates by throwing a hissy fit. Don't let him.
Gimme some milk.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

What is even happening?
I'll cut a few hours off of it, but I asked him to give me a reasonable counter offer for me to look at. I'll take a bit of a cut since he can't use what I gave him but my time is still valuable.
If you quoted your rate to his assistant, and she said he was fine with it (chances are she knows what he pays contractors and/or employees when he pays contractors), it sounds to me like he's trying to weasel out of paying you a fair rate.
You did all that work, and they wouldn't give you the job, or even offer you a breaking in period, where you'd get to learn the job.

Also? What Jess said. I started my last response with "Bullshit," originally, but didn't want you to think that was in reference to your time being valuable, so I left it off before I submitted the post. But I was totally thinking it, the whole time.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Cash, what they all said. Don't drop your rate.
I have an odd question:
A woman who cheats on her husband is an adulteress. A man is an adulterer.
What is the "other" man or woman called?

I'm sure there's a snarky (as well as grammatically correct) answer to this, but I also wanted to call attention to one of my favorite cheating terms, the "cuckold."

Or maybe adulteree

Oh, unless you meant cuckold, which would be the spouse NOT doing the cheating.
