Really interesting and many personal questions found answers. For future events, I hope that technical problems will be less important... A great moment

Bunch of thanks.

After an initial brief period of technical difficulties with the audio; I thought the presentation was not only well -presented and interesting, but that it also offered a lot of useful and new information, as well. Thanks again for this well-received yearly event, Suzanne: keep up the good work!

Time	From	To	Content
15:33 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	Right. And do you try to explain it to them?
15:33 Jun 6, 2014	Barbara Carrara: 934537	All	Agree with Peter
15:34 Jun 6, 2014	Henry Dotterer: 1	All	it is a more polite and kind manner of saying that if you give little time, you will have a surcharge. :)
15:34 Jun 6, 2014	Barbara Carrara: 934537	All	And why THEY never seem understand that the less time we have, the more the translation process will suffer?
15:34 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	I don't have to. Baking a bread takes time, whether you have lots of time or not.
15:35 Jun 6, 2014	Lucia Leszinsky: 855539	All	so, basically, you charge the same price no matter the time given?
15:35 Jun 6, 2014	Barbara Carrara: 934537	All	David: only (very) few clients understand the reasoning behind a surcharge. Even weekends are now considered as any other week days
15:35 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	You cannot lower your prices if you get more them. You can only pull up your prices if you have to do a rush job, because in that case you hae to work late rhours an dextra hours.
15:36 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	I meant: "You cannot lower your prices if you get more time".
15:36 Jun 6, 2014	Henry Dotterer: 1	All	for me if the client gives me a lot of time, I can distribute the job during the week or the month, avoiding to superimpose over other jobs or activities I have
15:36 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	But you still need the same amount of tiem.
15:37 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	So, basically you're saying you're always billing for late hours/extra hours?
15:37 Jun 6, 2014	Barbara Carrara: 934537	All	I did a job recently with other two translators. The time we had was 1 month and a half to complete a job that would normally require four...
15:38 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	four... ???
15:38 Jun 6, 2014	Barbara Carrara: 934537	All	four months!
15:38 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	But is that a reason to lower your prices?
15:38 Jun 6, 2014	Manuela Ribecai: 1214732	All	I understand César, but agree with Peter
15:38 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	David is out?
15:38 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Or César...
15:38 Jun 6, 2014	Henry Dotterer: 1	All	no
15:38 Jun 6, 2014	Henry Dotterer: 1	All	I am here
15:39 Jun 6, 2014	Peter Motte: 30753	All	Ah, I see, you're back. I must have hit a key.
15:39 Jun 6, 2014	Henry Dotterer: 1	All	I am not lowering, only surcharging when there is little time
15:39 Jun 6, 2014	Henry Dotterer: 1	All	:)
15:39 Jun 6, 2014	Barbara Carrara: 934537	All	Because this is Italy, and because publishers pay very little here, there isn't much leeway. Take it or leave it.
