> I didn't make any money out of it, but I did get a day and a half to look around a new city on expenses.

This strikes me as curious. Were you billing hourly?



No, salaried.

[EDIT] I didn't quite walk out straight after fixing the problem. I stuck around to help out with any other queries they had with our software but they ran out of questions by lunch time.

[EDIT2] Customer wasn't being billed at all for my visit. They pay annual maintenance for the software though. If it's a serious (or weird) enough problem (or they shout loud enough) then someone is sent on site.
