I think many IT type are different than me in that they can make several short visits in one day, but in my case I'm usually teaching classes that require I be there at an exact time. An open ended visit to a client prevents me from seeing anyone else. | |

| Oct 22, 2014 at 2:43 | comment | added | Emily | thanks @Canadian Luke, this is helpful. In my case I don't want to go on site for as short a time as an hour 'cause most of the time people waat me for a half or full day and it kills that part of the day for me, but I definitely need to make it CLEAR that they are committing to the half/full day in advance. I did have this info in my proposal/agreement, but I've learned no one remembers what that says.d | |
