pay methods

It just dawned on me what getting paid by the report is like. It is like spinning the wheel on a game show. Agghhh. When you are lucky enough to get a report that has several linked together--whoo-hoo lucky day. Doesn't happen often though. But a lot of times it is one long report after the other with just one report attached. Really does not balance out at all. Once in a great while, or shall I say blue moon, I might get lucky and get a decent length report with several other reports attached that count for more. More often than not though my luck is the other way around with long reports that count for one measly report. Feels like I'm spinning the wheel and at its mercy. Especially late afternoons because the docs like to dictate the long reports this time of day. Thanks for listening. I know people have complained here about this before, but I just had an image of the wheel spinning and everything but one slot that sucks.

different child, different methods
I am the mother of two 20-year-olds, 1 boy and 1 girl. I can tell you from first hand experience the type of discipline depends on the child. My daughter, she might have had 2 spankings in her whole life. She could be talked to and punished in other ways that worked. My son, on the other hand, about every 6 months he would be due for a spanking and then he was fine again. I have learned from experience, never say that you will never do something or that you will not do something. If one thing does not work, believe you will go to spanking if it means saving your child.
You could go with a couple of methods.
First and easiest is bill by the quarter hour (15 mins). Your 33 mins, 31 secs would be billed at .75/hour ($45).
The second would be to split the hour into 10-minute increments (6 mins each) and bill by the 1/10th hour. (This is what I had to do when I worked for a large printing company and we will per job.) Your 33 mins would be 0.6/hour ($36).
The second way is a little more tedious but you may find the customer is more amenable to that rather than the 1/4 hour. Also, the math still comes as second nature on that method even though it's been more than 17 years since I worked for that company. 
Can you try one of the at-home dry cleaning methods? nm
Congratulations, and TKU for sharing your methods.

Document on line counting methods
Hi,
If you download the help file for MPLite (or MPWord or MPTools), there is a chapter on line counting. In it is a mention that the AAMT has disavowed their previous recommendation for a line count method, and a discussion of lines counts in general. You'll find it informative, and if you print the page your client may find it interesting as well.

I'm ALWAYS skeptical of 'New' methods of paying on a line.
