Update - Irate-Cosmo is now just Slightly-Peaved -Cosmo.
If you read my last entry, after that outrageous estimate, I called a few more electricians, one was going to schedule for early next week to come out for an estimate. Which meant I had to take off yet another day from work. About half an hour after I had called, they called me back to say that their guy was going to be done the job he was on early today, and could be at my place for an estimate between 2 and 4. He finally showed up just before 4 and he gave me an estimate of around $625 for all 3 rooms. Even he was shocked when I told him the estimate the other company had given me. It's still more than I had hoped to pay, but at least I can handle it. Plus, since it's the wiring for my internet in my home office, it should be (at least partially) deductable.
I'm so glad he was able to make it out today (I was actually going to head out right before they called) so I may only have to take off half a day late next week to get the work done.
