I am a multimedia designer, and 5 years of experience has taught me that USUALLY the people who can and will pay the least have the biggest demands. Not friends, who I work cheap for, but business folks. It just amazes me how they think I have nothing but free time to give them. I, like you, end up letting them go. It's the only way to stay sane. And, like your experience, something good always seems to happen once I've done it. <BR/><BR/>It's as if the universe agrees with some sort of "no assholes served" rule.HelenWheelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17709287737262543974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048624.post-1146663818381894762006-05-03T06:43:00.000-07:002006-05-03T06:43:00.000-07:00Update on the fired client: Monday and Tuesday ni...Update on the fired client: Monday and Tuesday nights I slept like a baby. Five years of stress with these people.

It's a good thing I'm not in that business - I have simply no capacity whatsoever for suffering fools gladly, even when it's in my best interest to do so. That's why I'm broke, I guess. I have much admiration for people like you and my girlfriend Paula (my other travel agent friend) when I hear about what you have to deal with gracefully on a daily basis. I'll go the extra mile and then some for someone with a good heart, but those 'don't you know who I am?' types make me lose my lunch.Alicia Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14458700009032102949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10048624.post-1146549561477568352006-05-01T22:59:00.000-07:002006-05-01T22:59:00.000-07:00Hello Jood,Came here from Alicia's blog.
