>>The client won't blink at my hourly rate, but they'll get annoyed if I expense a meal where the tip was 18% instead of 15%.
I was planning on expensing meals, since that's what I did as an employee for this company, but I think I'll skip it. <<
You have learned well, Grasshopper. Use this power only for good < bg >.
>Charles, things are going well. My main concern right now is that I don't have enough time to start finding new clients. My former employer has me on a 100hr/month retainer and I can't get even get all the work done for my other built-in clients. I havn't had time to do my web site or even my business cards. I'm probably going to drop my retainer hours some so I can spend some time keeping my other clients happy and start the process of lineing up new ones. Or maybe I should just spend less time on the UT :).

Not surprised. I thought you'd like the Consulting Life.
>And as for Vegas, I didn't think I was going to like it but I can't wait to go back. I don't understand why anyone would have a conference in Milwaukee when you can have it in Vegas! Well, unless you're trying to learn something I suppose.<
Sit down at that poker table at the Bellagio with me next time and I guarantee you'll learn something < s >

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
