I am RUTHLESS in my business practices, but am fair. I agree to do X for Y, and if you expect Z in addition to X, then you're going to pay Y to the Yth power.

They do it once in a while, but more often then not they figure it's cheaper to get some lowballing dirtbag to do their dirty work for them instead of paying my non-contractual rates.

Which is fine by me, there are only so many hours in a day, and my days are pretty full already. If I'm going to forego my personal or sleep time, I'm damn well going to be compensated.
