Not An Emergency?

[@MarkAlbert]

Yes, I get that often: “Can you come today?” or “Can you make this a priority?” Sorry, not without rescheduling and frustrating everybody else.

Yep!

What's your charge for emergency and having to re-shuffle everything else? While I keep a well laid-out schedule with pre-commitments about three weeks out, this keeps hitting me so often with some people thinking that I am just sitting around and ready to rush to a perceived "emergency" on a moment's notice.

Mine is $250, which is 2X my normal trip fee. Anything from 1.5X to 3X is the standard. I think 2X is fair but you can adjust that depending on the time of day or the scope of the work.
