Pissy morning, though. I had a university editor e-mail me and ask me how much I'd charge for doing a set of 8 stories twice a year. I spent an hour mulling it over, responded with my best estimate. Then I get the response: "Due to budgetary restraints, we will not be able to employ you blah blah..."
Fuckers, why'd you ask in the first place, then?
So I bit my tongue and gave my most civil reply: "Next time, let's start by talking up-front about what you can afford, and we'll go from there, okay?"
Like I said, fuckers.
