How do u know im not on another board??
And as an independent contractor I know what its like to fight for business....during the 2008 downturn my income dropped by 60%....my reaction wasnt to sit on my arse...play with my phone ...ignore customers...and double my fee....
If i was a MB id be out there smiling till my tonsils fell out....and would do my best to provide an extraordinary service....especially if I could earn a days wage in an hour...but then maybe some of u r vegans or something.
