Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:34:19): I am only showing so that you know what we do not like.

Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:36:44): yes
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:36:45): sure
Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:36:59): Same color scheme but totally different look, because it is a different council.
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:37:06): ok
Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:37:28): We have not received any direction on this particular council other than the color scheme, so no restrictions right now.
Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:37:39): Same fee. Let me know.
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:37:45): yes
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:37:51): same fee

Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:38:15): ?
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:38:30): yes
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:38:31):
Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:38:46): If that will be a problem, please let me know and we will keep you on for the first project and a future project. But please let me know.
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:39:01): no
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:39:09): we are a team of 5 designers
Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:39:14): oh, great!
Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:39:48): So, I will go ahead and hire you through ODesk now, one minute
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:40:00): okey great
Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:41:18): I just hired you through ODesk!
Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:41:26): Congratulations and welcome to the team!
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:41:34): thank you!
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:41:57): how about 2nd project would you like to post another project for that?
Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:42:55): Well, because we did a fixed rate, we can only hire you for one project at a time. Once you are on the team, we just continue to pay you as new projects come up.
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:43:26): so right now i am woking on one logo project or 2?
Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:43:31): So for this project, we will end up paying you the fee for the first project and then an additional payment which will total the second project.
Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:43:35): 2 projects.
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:43:51): ok
Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:44:18): I know it's confusing, we had this problem with another provider early on, and ODesk explained that it is like this because of doing fixed rate instead of hourly.
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:44:40): do you have a min. to write an email for both of the project?
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:44:52): here is my email acc. :- design@muktistudios.com
Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:44:55): But it has worked out fine. We (myself and the provider) have regular talks about the invoicing so we stay on top of it.
Tony bidla (29/07/2008 19:45:03): ok
Leslie Alexander (29/07/2008 19:45:05): Sure, I will send you an e-mail right now.
