Writers: does this crap annoy you too?

I just finished looking through the job bank of a certain freelance writing website and very nearly committed myself to the next few years of trying to remove regurgitated foodstuffs from between my keyboard keys. There was this job posting you see, looking for articles. This particular job poster wanted ORIGINAL articles for a website. Ok. I'll take a quick look at that, I thought. Speed read down to the price and OH MY GOD! He was offering the grand sum of 50 cents per article. 50 bloody cents!!! Can you believe it?? Now it didn't specify a word length for these articles but I would take an 'article' to be at least 500 words, wouldn't you think? I would barely write a sentence for that pitiful amount of money! These people fail to realise that there are a lot of writers out there, including me, that are trying to MAKE A BLOODY LIVING out of what we do! This just insults our intelligence. So listen up you tight-asses out there who expect a lot for bugger all: don't insult our intelligence with ridiculously small amounts of money. Either that or don't expect any articles: expect a short sentence if you're lucky! Remember the old phrase: you get what you pay for! Ok I'm off for a stiff drink to calm the hell down.
