Haha! How sad.

Didn't you ever take that nap?

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Work napping is important

 

[kestegs]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

I rarely do it, even I have to draw the line somewhere!

 

[Jcakes]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

I am sure it is very comfortable sleeping amongst the insulation in peoples ceilings

 

[kestegs]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

no, it's really not, but somehow I think I may have done it before.

 

[Jcakes]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

It is probably too dusty.

 

[kestegs]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Yea, it usually is dusty and itchy. I have a vague recollection of sleeping somewhere funny like that though.

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Do you charge by the hour for callouts? Or just quote for the work and do it?

 

[kestegs]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Either way, depends on the job really.

 

[Jcakes]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

And depends on if the people are stupid enough to pay you by the hour

 

[kestegs]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

So here's the way I see it:

1. I am below average on hourly wage.
2. I am good and do quality work.
3. I am faster than most electricians.

So even if I mess around a bit I am still very fair on price in the end.

 

[Jcakes]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Why do you charge less per hour than most electricians then?

 

[kestegs]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

I'm maybe just a bit below average I'd say. Gotta stay competitive.

 

[Jcakes]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

I guess that makes sense, though if I was running a buisness I would try to charge just above average, because I am you know awesome.

 

[kestegs]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Yea, well the economy is pretty much a piece of dookie right now, so you have to take that into account. Usually if I get really busy my prices start going up, and if I'm not as busy they start going down.

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Mr Kestegs knows his supply and demand curves

 

[kestegs]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Yes, supply and demand can be a good thing or a bad thing. Maybe I should have had an economics major.

 

[Jcakes]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

Or maybe you should just work harder

 

[kestegs]

Re: [OT]Hey Hey We're the MONKees...

I work plenty hard as it is. I'm sure I could work harder, but that would just set up a bad standard.

In 1984, the Raiders were responsible for raising my grade on a geography final by ten percentage points. While not a Raider fan, I do appreciate that to this day.
