I had a consulting job a few years ago where I was replacing "the web guy" at a place that wasn't really a tech shop. My agreed upon time was 2 days per week at 8 hours per day at a flat day rate. I came in the first day, met with the department head and was given my first assignment: Upload this week's content to the website. I got myself orientated with the internal document system and located the content to post. I then poked around a bit and found that their site was running MoveableType. I found the login information left by the previous employee and posted the content. Start to finish time: about 20 minutes. I then went to find the department head to get the next assignment. I was met with "You're done already? (The person I replaced) would take 2 or 3 days to get everything up. Are you sure you didn't miss anything?" I ended up taking the moral high road and explained that it was actually very simple work and my consulting time would be better spent training existing employees how to post the data themselves. I sometimes think that was a foolish decision.
