The shops the OP is referencing do take a considerable amount of time between the visit and narrative heavy report. I will only take them if I have a free day and they are heavily bonused. I've gotten to the point that I can get the report done within an hour, so that helps. I don't care about the "atta' girl", I do this to make money and I have very clear guidelines on what I will/will not do for this job. Hmmm.... maybe that last part should be under the thread about perks of being an IC - I don't have to take a job if it doesn't meet my goals....
However, along the same lines, I recently took a job with an MSC I had never worked with before. The shop paid well (base pay was commensurate for the work involved), and the scheduler was awesome with responding to inquiries. I was completely shocked when I received a personal email this weekend from the scheduler who said she was blown away by my report and wished all her IC's did such a great job. I didn't receive any Hero Citations, but that scheduler did just offer me a heavily bonused job that she is having trouble getting completed. I'll take that kind of recognition any day!
I used to see a life coach pretty regularly.... back when they were called bartenders.
