I guess nobody ever told those Nuts "be careful what you wish for", huh?

And what is it with you and companies that can't afford to pay you to do the job, but can't do it themselves and want you to do it "freelance" at cheaper prices? *g*

Justified. Let him know that you've got plans for April 11-15, and you're not going to change them without a firm committment one way or the other.

What I don't understand is why they can't or won't extend your job. If there are people willing to keep paying them for your labor, why don't they want their cut?

Needless to say, any freelance work should be billed at top dollar, at least twice what you were making in the office. They owe you that to cover lost benefits and the part-time nature of the work. Maybe triple, to cover the aggravation.

I don't know, Dail. Especially with this jbo - it's not like I was overpaid even before the pay cut!

It's mysterious and sort of worrying.

Somehow, Jonathan, Jason has gotten it into his head that managing the accounts internally makes the home office legally responsible for generating the 'Nuts revenue. He claims it's a liability issue, anyhow.

My personal opinion? He just wants the whining and complaining to go away. If all of the marketing is done by outside companies that the 'Nuts work with directly, he can just say, "not our problem" whenever they have complaints.

Okaaay. next lunch is totally on me.

That sucks big fat hairy monkey balls. :(
