    I think the day rates most of us are on are contingent on being supplied a steady 5 days a week. I would probably double my rate if I was just getting work sporadically but i wouldn't turn it down.

      I work directly, get paid weekly. No pay - no work next week. Pretty simple really.

        It was better than nothing and eventually I found something better and never went back.
