was in this situation. not my personal church, and not exactly but there were a client who wanted a discount b/c they were a church. (for this area a mega-church)

I would charge extra. Few businesses are as ruthless and unethical as churches. They have deep pockets and will screw you any chance they get. They are the last business that should get discounts.

When I worked in big box music retail (guitar center, et al), I was once asked "is that god's price on that?" It was a $99 microphone with zero margin. It wasn't $10k worth of PA gear, it was 1 f*cking mic. That was one of the final nails in that career coffin, because it happened all too often.

That could be malware.

It does the same from any device on my connection. Phones and all.

Then your connection has the malwares!

Hand them an itemized invoice for your time. Churches have plenty of money to pay you, don't let them treat you like the red headed stepchild.

Sounds like they have business-like expectations of you and your time. I agree with Rojo.

Yep.... "downtime isn't acceptable" = they need to hire a pro, not bitch at a volunteer.

I had to explain to our support department that when customers use a hotmail account to send an email with the subject line in ALL CAPS, the spam filter is going to grab it.

You may need to go onsite with a sharpie and write "CAPS LOCK" onto the forehead of the worst offenders. The other sheeple will fall into compliance.

@scottalanmiller I'll play music in southern Spain for some Iberico ham, so that might work.

@Minion-Queen we're not exactly just punk, but we could help revitalize your local music scene nonetheless.

"We're coming to your town, we'll help you party down..."

@scottalanmiller know any booking agents or promoters? We'd love to play Spain. Or if you would like to throw a fancy shindig, we could be the entertainment.
