A guy has a factory and the place is shaking itself apart and it is about to explode. He does an emergency call out for a technician. The technician comes in with a ladder and a screwdriver. He sets the ladder up in the main control room, moves a ceiling tile to one side and tightens a screw and everything goes back to normal.
The factory owner tells him, "Wow, that was incredible. How much do I owe you?"
The technician tells him, "$150,000.00."
"That is way too much. All you did was tighten a screw. You better do a line item invoice on that. There is no way I can approve all that expense," said the owner.
"Not a problem," replied the technician as he whipped out his invoice pad. The invoice looked like this:
- Service Call: 1 @ $75.00 per contract
- After Hours premium: 1 @ $200.00 per contract
- Weekend call out premium: 1 @ $300.00 per contract
- Transportation: 1 @ $35.00 per contract
- Knowing which $#@! screw to turn to keep the factory from blowing up:
- 1 @ $149,390.00
- Total: $150,000.00
Don't sell yourself short, smile.
