    Sounds fair. There is a limit to how professional one can be when surrounded by amateurs, sometimes you need to point out that all the last minute rush achieves is a greater number of mistakes as people are tired and stressed and leave them to fail.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      Hmmm. I've had clients like that. Wonder whether they though they could screw you for some weekend work for free and, thus, have zero extra costs.

      I've had this in the past. At 3pm on a friday afternoon, they urgently require that I do something on Saturday. Its then amazing how quickly it drops in priority when you ask them to confirm that they will be paying you for it..... Happened a few times to me.

        indeed - I always ask which of their products they like to give away for free when this happens...

        often gets their attention.
