It's a sad state of affairs when your firm makes more money from you reading one email than an employee at a fast food restaurant makes after working 2-3 hours at minimum wage. Something needs to change.
Fast food is the worst job ever, but if you don't like it, don't do it. No one said you have to work there.

10:39- I concur. I am sure that your clients will appreciate you lowering your rates and not billing them 0.1 for reading an email that didnt take you all 6 minutes to read.
who would be stupid enough to lower rates AND not bill for work? One or the other, if any. That said, I don't work for free.

On a random side note, I just had Panda Express for lunch, and I hate the new brown, fried rice. Anyone have an opinion on it? I feel like PE is trying to portray itself as being healthy, but I am not convinced that PE's food is healthy, even with brown rice, so give me back my yummy white rice!! Sorry, I digress.

Joyful House
American Chinese or fresh-off-the-boat Chinese?
Diamond China on W Sahara
Pho Saigon 8
Rice N' Noodle on Rainbow & Windmill.

Apparently Chinese is synonymous with Asian in general
