Daily rates....LOL

The daily rate is only valid when in your bank.

As stated up to 1500US per day.

BUT

after the event, you will be asked to accept a low figure due to the recession.

been there, got the T shirt.


Last month, a client that I did a lot of work for previously, and still waiting for settlement, eventually agreed that the sum was due, but for various resons they wished to deduct 600US.

Now do I say OK, or say, pay up in full. ??? difficult call....but I compromised and said pay up NOW...less the 600.

Then nothing happened for another month....and they promised to respect me in the morning.

Four days ago, they called me and urgently needed my services...was I available.....well yes, but no. Guess what..the cheque was ready 10 mins after the call, and in my bank 10ms later.

Trip took place, but the eventual cost to them was 600us more than they would normally have paid.

new balls please....now back to the tennis.
