A Rant about Rates

What's odder than a bunch of $2 bills, you ask? Why, it's the email I got from a placement firm with notice of a contract position for a content writer and online marketing communications person.

Hi Caryn--

Small world.  I remember your name from the Knights Day Camp Reunion.  I'm going to the luncheon in Livingston today.  Don't know if you plan to attend.  If you do, looking forward to meeting you.

Best,

George Ruthauser
