One of the victims in the Orlando shooting is 22-year-old Luis Vielma. J.K. Rowling paid tribute to Vielma on Twitter after learning he worked at the Wizarding World in Orlando. She also sent a message for Tony, who is currently in the ICU. Vielma is one of 26 victims that have been named by the city of Orlando.
The world can be a lot like a public toilet: you can have a thousand people use it without incident, but it only takes one of them pissing on the seat to make it seem like the other 999 are horrible. Don’t lose hope. Reject hate and despair. The world has a lot more decent people than awful ones. So do what you gotta do and be sure wipe the seat for the next person.
I was contacted by a client who I’d finished a website for over a year ago.
Client: Why did my site crash?
Me: Let me send you a retainer contract and I can take a look at it once I’ve got a signed contract and the initial payment.
Client: I can’t pay you! Can’t you just fix it?
Me: No, that wasn’t part of our contract. I have no idea why it isn’t working. It will take some time to figure out what is wrong and how to fix it.
Client: Okay. Do that. But I can’t pay you.
Me: Then, I can’t work.
Client: How do you make any money then?
Me: …
Client: …
Me: …what?
