Did he help attaching the fender in the end? The last time I helped someone I got paid for it which made all the difference. I'm happy to sort out your computer problems if you pay me at least my dayjob equivalent for my time. I did an excellent job as well and no bad feelings whatsoever. |

If I actually quoted my usually hourly rate it wouldn't matter because I have a senior position, so my rate is way higher than what someone would want to pay. People who aren't in tech have a weird view of IT, either undervaluing it or sometimes actually being angered by the rate.
I'm most empathetic to artists who are told they'll get "exposure", or that "it's just a drawing" or whatever. The average person has no idea what IT is like, but assume it's easy or fun. I'll never understand why some jobs get pigeonholed this way.
