I dunno...I confess, we do them all pretty much the same. Clean, dirty...whatever. Obviously, dirty, messy, screwed-up; those take a crapload more time. If you work for yourself, by yourself, that flexibility is
great, but with employees, I find it's best to be standardized. (Altho, I also confess that this once
really bit me in the tuchus!)

Yeah, whatever. But I doubt either of us built our business by flouncing whenever a customer got pernickety. And the gig was fine. Just illustrating the strange point that we'd BOTH have been happier if I'd charged more!

I agree, and god knows, we have more than our fair share of persnickety clients. (the more they pay, the persnicket-ier they get!). But I thought you said this was friends or family, no?
I freely admit, I've told family where to go, when it's happened with me. (No, happily, nobody's ever asked me to make an eBook, but for some years there, I was the "Creative Director of Great Resumes" for the family Hitch. And suffice to say, "creative" was definitely the word...)
Anyway...all's well that ends well, yes? Presumably you had a nice gig and you obviously survived it. :-)
