but my company constantly asks me to do these random little graphics projects here and there. It's all fine and good when they give me time while i'm on the schedule.. sometimes it's even fun...but this asking me to do insane printing projects and shopping expeditions after work (meaning w/o pay) is uncool.

sitting in kinkos last night at 9pm,i started losing it....something that should've taken 10 minutes took me 1 1/2 hours. not only did it waste my time, it cost me $80... for copies. yeah this is an office run by interpreters most of whom have never worked in an office before and have no idea how to function as corporate pod people... which is nice in some ways...yet highly annoying in others. and, i will make them pay the $.40/minute i was charged to use the kinkos computer so that i could make the color prints. think it's time i make a strong suggestion they invest in a color printer. it's not like they don't have the money. rant over; project done....i supppose i should start on the newsletter that was due july 15. oops.

that is so not your job! yikes. above and beyond, and you're good to do it, but come on! i say bill them whatever you get paid as a contractor and see if they ask you to do it again.

I agree! Bill your company!

It's your time and their expenses!
