Most of the time comsuming part of my job is talking to the client. I want to make sure I understand what they want and they understand what they are getting. Sometimes that takes a while depending on the project. I deal with a lot of elderly people who live alone and sometimes they just need someone to talk to for a few minutes too. This also helps them get comfortabe with me knowing I will be working in their house for hours or maybe a couple of days or more. Unfortunately it's not something I get paid for, but it usually works out in the end when they refer someone they know to me.
