take it or leave it :) that's the price the client pay when they try to "lower cost" with cheap workforce and bad quality service.
edit: a real businessman knows that a good job costs money, so they will try to create "incentives" in terms of money. if someone wants 16 hours of freelancer, they should actually hire exclusively with appropriate contracts and all benefits. i know it sounds shallow but thats how it works: loyalty costs money.
Nice, would have to be pretty damn exceptional at the job though..
well. i never thought you are average :)
I don't like to negotiate price.. haha
