I got called by an old contact to do some contract work for them. Yay, for pocket change!

Ok, I'm going to teach you a new vocabulary word..... NO. It means "I'm not going to do work for you at a discount because you think I should be loyal to someone from my past". Apply liberally as needed to prevent working for less than you are actually worth. Repeat ad infinitum.

I didn't say anything about a discount, did I?
If anything his price went up. He just doesn't know it yet. -
@dafyre I thought your use of the phrase "for pocket change" was an indication of the rate that would be expected. My side work rates are really high now that I have a job and don't want the side work.

My side job rates have gone up in the last year due to needing the money. No sense in pricing myself out of the side jobs. Unfortunately for me, I actually really do need the work, at least for now.
We're looking at the possibility of starting a business doing this. I work really really well with this guy (we worked together at my last job). The code we'll be using is stuff that he and I originally put together.

I'm scream-typing into my keyboard at a Small business that wants to virtualize on the free version of ESXi! The OP has no backup solution in place and wants to buy a NAS for file shares. With 4 drives in the NAS, rather then using a cost effective server from xByte, and put the savings into a NAS for a backup appliance
! God !

I wish, this guy seems to as the general I-worked-out-a-printer-issue-once kind of shop, and is in charge of IT for it. So he's not even an MSP.
He's asked for advice, and completely went ass-backwards with it.

@Dashrender Yes.

There's sympathy, empathy and also mimithy. Mimithy is where you adopt a person's feelings as your own. I'm scream-typing right now for this reason only. There is no benefit to this action for anyone, least of all me.

I also get to tell a client that I can't help them any more since I took this job. The job is worth it just for that.
