Yeah. He just emailed me back. His counter offer took a minimal amount off of my quote--basically our initial meeting. I think he was just seeing how much he could get off the bill.
I suppose it isn't worth your zen or time to argue about it, but darn it, I'd want to add money for the time spent arguing about him paying a rate HIS ASSISTANT TOLD YOU WAS 'FINE'.
I'm not yelling at you. I'm yelling at him.

Yeah. I'm just glad that I didn't put more time in on it. I couuld have spent a lot more time fiddling with it and trying to get it right. But I was scoping it out, too. I wasn't going to take a job that would have required me to put in more than 15 hours a week.
He obviously thought he could just have someone walk in off the street and start producing for him, at whatever he wanted to pay them. *shrug*
I'm no worse off. It did prompt me to go out and replace our computer (DH is super happy I did that).
I hope he gets lumps in his mashed potatoes.
Totally off topic, Cashmere, but have you seen the season 2 episode of VM
with the Sadie Hawkins dance,
yet?
Cindy, Yup. I did. I was hard pressed whether I wanted to see Logan smack Gia or dance with Veronica. I like how it turned out. Also, knowing what I do about the ending, Woody checking out Logan's biceps squicked me big time.
I just hope asshead cuts me a check immediately. So I don't have to deal with him anymore.
Have you ever just turned your head and had your shoulder and neck muscles just seize up on you? If not - let me just say - OUCH. This is not cool.
oh, yes. and as you rub your shoulder, you think WTF??
Yes. I hate it. It's usually a sign that I'm stressed and need a professional massage.
Oh, that does suck. And with me, the muscle/nerve that runs up the side of my neck and on to my head usually seizes up at the same time. Joy.
What I hate is it's one of those pains that seems to linger. The initial OUCH is one thing, but then it keeps going owie, owie, and owie over and over for a couple of days.
