Sometimes, though I've not much time lately, I play around with electronics and I know a wee bit about the subject.

So, I figured Poal could possibly use such a sub and I made it.

Should someone come along and decide they would be a better custodian of said sub, I'm more than happy to relinquish it.

I'm rather house-bound for a while. I'm not sure how I'm going to spend my time, though I know quite a bit of it will be devoted to writing. There's a distinct possibility that my submission activity will increase across this site and Phuks. We shall see, but it is not set in stone - nor is it a promise to which I will obligate myself.

Either way, the sub is here if folks want it.

Well I’m sure I’ll enjoy this one as I like electronics, being an IT guy and all. I wish I had something to post. However I am stuck at work dealing with lazy people not doing their jobs and people are yelling at me about things of which I have no control over.

Are you paid by the hour?

I am.

Well, I suppose there's something to be positive about! At least you're not salaried and having to deal with bullshit. At least you're being paid for the extra work involved in dealing with stupid people.

With the client from yesterday, they didn't want to organize our room and board for the night. The band, and the people who work for it, all need a place to stay and food to eat. The clients didn't want to pay for that. So, I figured out what the maximum was that I'd expect to pay for that - and then I tripled the cost and rounded up.

I then line-item billed that. They not only pay for it, they pay the associated penalty because it adds to the things we have to attend to ourselves. I make this very clear to the customer.

Fortunately, they are awesome clients. They didn't even bat an eye at our fee and, indeed, already hired us back to do a larger show for their holiday celebration. We've already begun talking about being their regular band at all their employee events. That's exactly the niche I'd like to fill for regular work.
