I don't know if I spelled that right.
So! After a pretty brutal couple of days of work after which my employment status was pretty much in the air, I went and offered my skills of an artist to a customer at work who was looking for some things done up for her sons birthday party. I may or may not have violated some ethics policies at my work place by doing this, but fuck that. These are the same fuckers who won't let me take tips.
Anyhow, I was hoping to appeal to any of ya'lls on der borden here to see if you have any experience in what to charge for work like this. I kind of started this whole thing out of the blue so I really haven't quoted her anything concrete. Part of me is regretting that, seeing as I'm very familiar with people not wanting to pay for services rendered. So far I've only sunk about maaaybe two hours of effort into this and fifteen bucks worth of office supplies into the whole thing, but I'm only about halfway done.
Thoughts? Opinions? Snarky bullshit that won't really help me at all? Lets hear it. Ya'll might as well take advantage of me while I'm making my one or two posts a month here.
