Oh man, this is fucking funny. A guy came into my lab yesterday and dropped off about 30 slides for us to blow up. He said "fix them up in photoshop first," then bolted. When he came in today to pick them up, I got to tell him:
1. retouching is $125 an hour.
2. his slides were so damaged, it would take me a month or two to repair them (I know because I've done it before).
I didn't get to give him an estimate ($15,000), because he was already shitting himself. Then (this is the best part), he got all indignant, telling me he could just go out, buy photoshop, and do it himself!. I offered to scan an image for him for free so he could try. Wait till he sees how much Photoshop costs.
"In my line of work," the guy says. I'm practically rolling on the floor laughing. In my line of work, I ask professionals how much things cost. Cause it's always more than I thought.
In other job-related news, I begin some of my new duties at work tomorrow, photoshopping an image for an ad. It's a big client, too. I'm so looking forward to it. Yeah, I have a useful job skill.
