Nice boss
Here is one of the positive stories from the labor marked.
In the spring I did some statistic work as a consultant for a woman who has a private fertility clinic around the corner from where I live. I finished the work for her in a couple of month and charged her 100 hours at $16.5, which is normal pay for student work here
A month ago she called me again because they had bought Apple computers after their POS Compaq computers had been stolen. They had had some problems with the network, printer aso and they wanted to transform the database to the macs and asked me if I wanted to continue the work for them. I accepted and started the work, soon got their macs to work smooth again.
Then yesterday I turned in my first invoice 35 hours at $16.5 and went down to collect the money today. I smalltalked a bit with the staff at the reception about the printer I am about to buy for them. I them asked for the money and got a envelope with it. But then she looked a bit worried and asked me to come into her office because she wanted to talk to me about the invoice. I feared it was because I hadn´t given any detail for the hours spent. I had just written it like this: "35 hours at 16.5$/h equals $577,5".
But instead she said she wanted me to change the hourly pay to $25 because my work was worth it.
It gave a good feeling (and money towards an iPod 
)

I can assure you I am very cute in a very masculine way. But unfortunetly most of the customer AND the boss is lesbian
And no my work don´t involve tubes and porn mags either.
