   When I worked for myself I always used to tell customers with small jobs..............It's way more of a bargain if you find a half a days stuff you need done...............than just that two hour job.................cause a half day is a half day.........2 hours or 4............it's a half day.

   Nothing takes less than half a day. 

   Cagey caller: "What's your hourly rate?"

   You: "Depends on what, where, when and how long".

   CC:  "OK, a tree fell across my driveway last night and I need to get out for an important meeting.  Can you help me, right now?"

   You:  "Perhaps".

   CC:  "How much?"

   You: "You want the cheapest, fastest solution?"

   CC:  "Absolutely."

   You: "OK, it'll cost you a hundred bucks and I'll bill you later."

   CC:  "Agreed.  What is it?"

   You:  "Call a cab."
