Ok, so let it be on the record then...

You're right! And it should have been this way across the board, for inflation alone. Let it be on the record that you are currently working at around $0.24/word and $55 min charge, and double on weekends (your words), which roughly means about $200,000 annually without much pressure, and I'm just a negative loser.
Imagine the majority in here who think that 0.12/word is "too much, hard to believe"... I think you should be advising them first, not me.
Thanks
