Looks like I’m stayin’ another month here…

I’ve just been extended another month on this client.

But my momma didn’t raise no fool.

I’m raising my rate by $20, to $130/hour.

It’s only a month. It should net me an ADDITIONAL $3200 over the $17,600 I’d be making at my old rate (gross, assuming 40 hours a week), and no client is going to quibble over $3200 especially since I’ve been charging MAD overtime lately.

They’re flush with money here. What they lack is available skills and time.

Good.

That means that (if all things go well), I may be looking at a net worth increase of another $15,000 or so (after taxes of course assuming a 30% tax rate because I’m paranoid like that).

WOO HOO!
