Oh that is so true Grinity, its good self-therapy to look at your 'buttons'.
Unfortunately for me, estimating and selling my services are not my strengths.
Yes! This is me. Since its the snark thread...
I get annoyed at people who agressively self-promote. Sometimes I feel 1) like I know more about it than they do anyway, and 2) guilty and conceited for thinking 1. I also get annoyed that so many people believe it!
I'm not quicker though. In the memo example it takes me 3 times as long because I'm rereading it 12 times trying to get every possible interpretation and seeing if its 'right'. If it doesn't take me as long as someone else, I must be doing it wrong!
Add that I have very limited experience in any business environment, and the fact that I can't see why people would pay me when surely they could do it themselves, and this is why I'm raking it in. (Sarcasm is allowed on this thread, right?)
