</div>Obviously, it's over... However, it may mean the difference between getting<br>
paid and not... I don't know about you, but I prefer to get paid for the<br>
work I did, especially if it's over... As do a lot of wives. ;)<br>
<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Yep, it is a tightrope. We have had a lot of sticky situations over the last year. I would say percentage wise the riskier accounts have been working as a sub. Especially working for marketing firms. Yet them seem to be able to land the bigger accounts. And think doing websites is some after thought.<br>
<br>Anyway, hang in there.<br><br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
