Re: Need line count explanation help

It really should not be an issue if they agreed to both rates. I charge differently than you do and someone else completely differently. Whether she gets it or not, who cares. She might shut her yap if she's billing more, because that's all they'll see.

ARGH!!  I just spoke to the gal that retyped my report.  She got 55 lines
doing my margins and doing gross lines.  I billed 41 doing character lines.
She still is horrified I count every character.  The fact I told her I am
charging less than her, is getting through to her.  She would have billed at
her skinny margins 44 lines I billed 41!  My wide margins her way was 55.
She says, I just never heard of billing characters I always heard of billing
lines.  I said I DO BILL LINES but I figure by characters not gross lines.
YIKES.  Hopefully the doc's office will get it.  What I'm going to do is
figure my bill at her rate and my rate.  They will certainly get that.
