# Cost Recovery for the Unrecoverable

The non-billable hour has [this great post](http://thenonbillablehour.typepad.com/nonbillable_hour/2005/01/why_not_ask_the.html) on the idea of recovering costs for items such as printers, faxes, phones, etc.

Oh this is nice. What a great way to get your customers to come back to you. Lets bill them for everything we touch. Can't wait for the cost-recovery implant that gets stuck into professional's brains by their firms in order to capture the exact amount of brain-power a project took.
