Trust Me. I'm a Professional.

At work, we recently received a (second) bill for the "professional" landscape plan at the university's arena. This is the same site for which I had already completed a plan, and which Boss approved, before he asked his friend, the "professional" to do a design. We then waited a month for the plan, and when it arrived, it was a hand-drawn rough draft. We used it anyway. Over a month later, and after the installation was complete, the official, clean, computer-drawn plan arrived. Now, a month after the final plan arrived, we have received a second bill.

As if I wasn't irked enough by that, I got a look at the bill. The hourly rate they charged for a "Designer" was $72.50! I need to show Boss that and ask for a raise. It's enough to make me think of going into the landscape design business on the side.
