Seriously!?

Okay, okay normally I really hate to complain but this is ridiculous!  I have over 10 years of experience (I know there are those out there with way more who have had similar experiences), proof of excellent quality, excellent references……. and have just been offered a whopping 1 cent per line (yes you read that right ONE CENT PER LINE) for editing.  I responded that I could not possibly work for that but if she could offer more….  Well the response came back that after a 60 day trial period she might be willing to go up to 2 cpl!  I already have a full-time job and was just looking for some extra to get bills paid off, save…… you know what most people want with a second job, but does she think I just fell off the turnip truck this morning?!?  Really!!  Sorry, I just have never been so insulted in all my life (okay maybe once or twice but this is in the top 3).  I love, and I do me LOVE what I do, but seriously nobody works for free and this would be about the same thing.
