I only accept 8 hour minimum calls, though.

Four years ago I switched from an hourly rate to a day rate. There's
no minumum, a 2 hour gig costs you as much as an 8 hour gig. (Not
being a complete idiot, I do have a 10 hour maximum, after which I get
an additional hourly rate.) So I will happily accept 2 & 3 hour
gigs...and if I'm feeling audaciously cocky, I will book two in one
day! What was that Beatles song about "Eight Days A Week"

Yup - that's what I do too. If they want people they can use for an hour
or two when it suits them, they need to employ staff.
