Re: Romancing the day rate

Thanks so much for the direct answer Chris. In talking with the Sound Engineer I definitely got the impression of "welcome to the big time buddy, ain't it great!!!" I emailed the Production Coordinator this morning and told her after thinking about it I had to reconsider the offer. I told her that while I appreciated the offer of being able to bill for an extra day that I wasn't comfortable with that arrangement and that my price was $350/day with overtime after 11 hours. I haven't heard anything back yet.

And Chris, I have to commend you. So many times we want to read into a post or inject our own personal spin on a given situation. You on the other hand, actually answered my query directly. No offense to anyone else who responded as I am grateful to any and all input, but I think the lesson for all of us including myself is....Am I answering the question posed, or do I have an agenda here? Do I want to help this person or do I want to make myself look bigger? Am I reacting or being helpful? On the other hand, if the OP is being a jerk in his post and responses( as we all sometimes can be), give 'em the Zelin B*&ch Slap!!! Thanks for helping me look into my own forum behavior Chris, hopefully it'll stick.
