Just wanna clarify, I did NOT laugh at this. How can I be expected to work when Thanksgiving weekend is only a couple days away?
I'm dealing with this on a freelance project I'm bidding.
- CLIENT: We’d like to go ahead and book you to handle this year’s edition but, of course, we’re in the middle of a tough recession. So we’ll only be able to offer you about 50% of what we paid last year.
- ME: I gave you a heavily discounted price last year as an introductory deal. I said at the time it was a one-off and included a quote at the full price to illustrate.
- CLIENT: Yeah… Anyway, we’d like you to get to work immediately, since the deadline is
- this time next week.
- ME: You had a three-month lead last time.
- CLIENT: Uh-huh… Moving forward, we want you to treat this as urgent. Oh, and we’ll be paying you when the project comes into profit, of course.
- ME: So, you want me to do three months graft in a week, on the promise that when or if you make money out of my work you’ll pay me less than half what my time is worth.
- CLIENT: To be honest, we thought you’d be more grateful.

2-oxford shirts that haven’t been scribbled on.
3-mature women worthy of a commitment.
Oh, the things you see at TJ Maxx on a payday.
