Because of a client’s
micromanagement, a job took an extra month to complete. I ask for my extra
month’s pay, he pretends not to receive the bill and pushes back pay time.
After two reminders he gets his
accountant to call me.
Client’s
accountant: We
judge your work to be unprofessional and not on par with our expectations. We
judge the project to be worth (price of initial quote), not one penny more.
Me: Your client constantly changed his mind over
the course of the project and did not complain while I working with him. I told
him the extra features he demanded would cost more for my time, and he agreed.
Client’s
accountant: Yeah,
I know, he’s the worst. Honestly, he bugged me into calling you to say he won’t
pay the extra, but I’ll get him to call you. This isn’t in my pay grade.
You’ve got to love it when
you’re not the only person hating a client from hell. He ruined both our days.
and then you realize, you’re just scared. all these problems are there because you’re scared and paranoid and overthink and you don’t know how to stop it.
i wonder if magic is real, but only in a really mundane way.
when i was little i could almost inerringly switch back to disney channel right as the ads ended when i was channel surfing.
maybe youve never accidentally crushed a ladybug underfoot. maybe your microwave popcorn never burns. maybe you can spin around lots and lots of times before you get dizzy.
is that magic??
honestly im not sure if these are magic or just small, invisible skills. im not sure which i like better.
My ankles never twist. I’ve always been rather active, I did track for five years (all the running events), and one time while running I stepped in a hole, lost my shoe, and landed sprawling about five feet away. I pulled my shoe on and kept running.
I have a coworker who somehow makes better coffee than everyone else even though the grounds come pre-measured and all you have to do is load them up and push a button. I have a friend who has inch long nails that never break. My brother can copy origami just by looking at the finished product and my mother can do the same with knots. I knew a guy who never made an error when typing.
Maybe we all have little magics, the kind that you don’t realize you have. Just tiny things that make your life slightly better but are completely unnoticed on the outside.
this is the cutest post i have ever read…
i can sometimes predict silly unimportant things…
I can always tell whodunit in whodunit games and films
All animals go to heaven is just illogical planning. You’re telling me every crocodile that ever lived is in heaven? Heaven must be swarming crocodiles. Does that sound like heaven to you? Thousands of millions of crocodiles?
*SLAMS FIST ON TABLE*
YES, DAMMIT
And Steve Irwin is showering them all with affection
But does every Stingray go to heaven? I mean, what if Steve Irwin just randomly came across the Stingray that killed him?
Steve would probably pat it and say ‘Sorry I spooked you mate, gosh your a beauty! You must have grown three times since I last saw you!’
