Its been a crappy month pretty much except for one small good thing which I'm not going into details because I might jinx myself at this point. I realized this week, some of my clients I actually liked as people - are not my friends.
I had one client this week tell a consultant that 75% of their office was in the meeting and xxx was sorry he couldn't make it, helloooo - I was sitting right there but its like I didn't matter. And no one offered me any lunch either - hey, you know I might have been hungry - what a pretentious bitch.
Another client has told all their employees to stop talking to me, they aren't allowed to talk to me anymore without filtering it through him - WTF? Do I have cooties or something? (yea, that hurt my feelings). Same client doesn't believe all the extra work I do for them outside the office - I've decided to show them exactly how much work I do and not do it remotely anymore, I will be in the office one day per week and if it gets done, great, if not, it will have to wait til the following week. No more answering phone calls from them unless its their assigned day, no more checking emails daily to make sure nothing is pending. No more extra -worrying about their stuff. And this is the client that gets a discount off my regular rate, they are not special, I have to remember that. I need to remember, they are not my friends, this is a business arrangement.
Another one said that my website design wasn't fantastic, wasn't all that great either - huh? They loved it when I designed it or maybe they lied but why would they put it up if they didn't like it?
then there's my friend - shit, I have no idea what is with him. One minute we talk and laugh, next we're fighting, figure out WTF you want and jump in with both feet or don't.
cute boy in the office - whatever dude, try not to get me in trouble.
and someone lied to me - he's soo out of my life permanently - I don't ever want to see him again, that was such a mistake to call him again, a horrible mistake.
