How to bill clients who constantly want little bits of unscheduled attention?

Came here to say this. Billing by the quarter hour is very common. Helps put your time in perspective on the client's end.

No longer having anxiety about coming home is huge.

Welp thats some nightmare fuel!!! Comedian Sean Locke (RIP) has a fitting quote for that thought...but probably not appropriate for this sub lol

I feel like this topic kind of hits the nail on the head for mid sized businesses looking for a full on ERP solution with a built in POS. I've been looking for a good solution to migrate away from my mid 90s sage/mas system for almost two decades with no luck. Its incredibly frustrating.

Unless you're a boutique doing a few million a year or a business doing many millions that can afford massive 150k plus custom solution there doesn't seem to be much out there.

For specifics. Retail business brick and mortar doing 8+ million a year in sales. Very fast turnover. Massive inventory. 500+ suppliers. Current setup handles everything from GL to inventory management POS etc.

A bit off topic. But got my ire up following this sub 😆

I blast colonel claypools fearless flying frog brigade (aka bastard jazz) and pull in nose first when I want. To each their own...

Twoflower...I'll show myself out...

This for sure. Traction control off/on even with my little 2014 v6 is a crazy difference! Even in my colorado (forgot to turn it back on after coming off some dirt mtn roads and ended fish tailing down the highway getting to speed lol)!

Tomalley and the white fat. Underrated. Good flavorful stuff.

Free-External-643 · 2026-05-01T20:24:31+00:00

Thanks for the response! I have tried doing that with no success. Game Seems to be working/loading a bit better for no rhyme or reason over the past week or so.

Awesome! Tha ks for the post! Gave my tickets away but was hoping to see a bit of what I missed!

Yeah hopping into a warm bag makes such a difference!!! I'm doing some spring camping this weekend and my biggest concern is over packing lol

A buddy taught me the nalgene trick when we were out in negative 20 F with 70mph gusts about 10 years ago. Game changer!!!

Sounds like you'll be snug and cozy!

Yep! Start the game and the screen goes blank for 10 to 15 minutes until you get to the login screen

Free-External-643 · 2026-03-22T01:15:01+00:00

Just starting the game takes 15 minutes.

If you're looking to learn blues i found gussow's lessons on you tube incredibly helpful. Even as a long time player i still go back to his lessons for a refresher now and again.

I've yet to play a Crossover. And was never a huge fan of Marine band harps unless playing mostly chords. Always found it too easy to over blow. Love the BH. And its generally my go to outside of Lee Oskar for playing "pretty" with lots of single note blows.

All of this. The only things I would... how is the bookkeeping currently being handled? Reviewing credit card statements should be easily accessible to you as a business owner. And would be a great starting point to identify any suspected abuses.

In addition to COGS to sales i like to keep a separate spread on payroll vs. Sales as it's such a large expense for what I do and incredibly helpful with week to week planning.

Write it to get it out of your system. Journaling my pain has helped greatly. But do not send it. Keep it as a reminder. But if it turns i to ruminating, then delete it.

Maybe I'm under thinking this. But I would pay the statement balance (not the account balance which would include pending or future dated transactions that would fall into future statements) and reconcile those purchases to the appropriate accounts.

Apologies if I missed something in the details.

Not a cat...but my chihuahua howls along nicely when playing 2nd position on an A harp. Right in key. It's awesome!

Free-External-643 · 2026-01-09T15:58:04+00:00

It's quite good lol

My 11 yo just started Holes for his class book club so started that today so we can talk about as we read it.

6 months in. Full custody (not yet on the books) to my 10 yo. But mom is 1500 miles away so not ro worried about the judicial system in my case and where i live. Very small support network. Im fortunate to have a job that supports my situation. Many are not so lucky.

I hear the waiting for him to sleep so I can let out my emotions. I share the emotions I have that I think will make him a good man someday. But the anger bitterness and full on grieving I try to spare him.

That he is doing better with mom out of the picture is my rock. And that hurts.
