About 6 years ago I was working as a systems engineer and network troubleshooter, and my company billed me at $150/hr. We got an emergency call from this company, and the pain in the a$$ boss was just constantly hovering over me. Anyway, the problem they were having was due to a cabling problem (they had their telecom guys do some network premises cabling for them, and they wired the jacks wrong. I got together with their lead telecom guy and showed him how to rewire the jacks, and told the boss that the problem was going to be easy for their telecom guys to fix, and since they were paying them anyway, they could do it without having to pay me for the 3 to 4 hours it was going to take. He agreed, but when I presented him the bill for $150 for the 30 minutes I was there, he looked at the bill, got all angry, and stated "I don't even pay my lawyer $150/hr!" So I replied, "OK, so next time you've got a network problem that takes your server room down, call your lawyer to fix it!"
