The joys of working freelance.

I got a call at 2pm today, from a designer who needed 3, maybe 4 elevations drawn for a project she was doing.  

I said "No problem, when's you presentation?"

She says " 8pm.  Today."

I do quick math.  "I can have them by 7:30 if you can approve them before 7."

Art is drawn. E-mail is sent and rec'd, corrected and re-sent.

$150 should be here tomorrow.  Not bad for 3.5 hrs work.

If I could get two of those a week, it would fix the small shortfalls in our finances. That would rock.

You are the shit!! I want to be like you when i grow up.... or at least I want to spy on you through your window without you knowing about it while naughty things are happening.

It was cool that she gave me the info over the phone, and I was able to turn out finished art that worked for her presentation.

I are happy and stuff. :)

I don't know that end of graphic design very well, but I do know pricing. $150 is not enough for that job. $150 should have been the surcharge for a four hour turn around.

It was such an easy thing that it boggled my mind that she's been stressing for days and afraid of losing this client because she couldnt find an 'artist' to do it.

I mean easy-easy.

I want her to use me again, so I didn't want to over-charge. I figured I was making more per hr than she probably was.
