If I Could Charge This Much to Make a Phone Call, I Would Not Be Filing Bankruptcy

Quote from this month's invoice from my bankruptcy attorney, whom I love very much and thank for his services and, yes, I read the agreement and signed it, but holy fucking god:

"Phone call to client and leave message regarding status of information still needed to complete schedules.
Hours: 0.10
Amount: 9.00"

Nine. Dollars. IT'S A LOCAL CALL, FOR CHRISSAKE! AND IT WAS A MESSAGE! WE DIDN'T EVEN CONVERSE! For a nine dollar phone call, I would've liked to have had an orgasm. That's just selfish.
