Me: “If you could send me a check or use Paypal, that’d be great.”

Client: “Well, I don’t really trust Paypal or like mailing checks out. Can you come pick it up in person?”

Me: “We’re 4 states apart and it’s a 12 hour drive…”

Client: “It’s a nice drive though! You’ll like it, I promise. See you tomorrow!”

The proper response would be: "My hourly rate is x and mileage reimbursement is y per mile. I estimate the cost will be z. If you could please include that with your check, I would appreciate it."

that would work. there were times i'd drive to philly instead of train it just to enjoy the drive, have a little more freedom on the other side (scottish dancing w/ jeanniemac's old friends @ haverford or swarthmore) and collect the reimbursement money for myself. :)
