Was just at some Manhattan shindig party thing, starting chatting with a guy who was a web design guy and realized I charge far far too little for my freelance work and realize my skillset is far greater than the average....this guy was like "Well, I'm learning CSS now...."
Shit. I'm also have five scotches in me belly and am drink as shit....

I hate finding out when I've done something like this... best thing [imo] to do is prepare some kind of statement for any returning clients who could be taken aback and then just move on, whether they all stay on board or not.
