The recruiter's boss probably sent them the requirement with that text and they were too dense to change it to a number first :-)

My doing is quite well, thank you. Let's see, Jacksonville, six months, and you'll take either an Access developer or somebody skilled in Notes?

$6000/hr. Plus mileage from Baltimore, Maryland. In cash. I charge a Federally-mandated Dumbass Fee of $400/day.

Sounds like they need a little more thought about what they need, too. Access "or" Notes skills?
