Irony, irony, irony

I received e-mail from The Company last night asking me to complete a couple of the projects I was working on on a freelance basis. This is so rich that I need a glass of millk.

Sadly, the work doesn't involve the projects I most want to work on.
*sigh*

I have some thinking to do....

Know What You Are Worth

[the-monkey-king.livejournal.com]

The best thing to do when operating on that fine line is to decide first what your time is worth, and never take a project that pays less unless you have a darn good reason to do so. I've had to turn down some work since adopting this "minimum wage" standard, but it's a bit of bedrock that helps me when negotiation gets weird. It lets me say "I love your project, but I can't work at your rate."

You aren't holding up the company. You are asking for what you are worth. Don't settle for less.
