    Nothing better than getting an email from my largest customer (8-figure annual contract, potential for hitting 9-figures) on Friday afternoon saying that something that was due on Wednesday, that my boss's boss (literally the guy who signs my paycheck) promised would be done on Monday, and said he'd personally take care of, hasn't been done yet. Waddya do, send an email bawling out the President? :eek:

    I'd forward your customer's email to your boss' boss, Cc: to your boss, and let them deal with it by asking them how you should respond. If he doesn't respond quickly, I'd give your boss' boss a call.

    I already forwarded it to my boss's boss.

    Turns out the person he asked to make sure it was taken care of did so. Our customer isn't always capable of checking his Outlook inbox correctly. I guess I should've considered sooner that was a possibility, since it's not the first time this has happened.

    Crisis averted.

    Waiting on texts about the drag show tonight. Hope I didn't catch my bestie in the middle of something like a euthanization...that's what happened last Friday, and why we're going out to see some queens tonight.

    Sigh, dropped the check off and was told I now owe him $400 for things we never talked about. I was REALLY hoping to have this done with before dragoncon. I'm sure I'm going to have to go to court to prove this guy is an idiot with no legal basis or contract to prove I owe him this money.

    Damn it.

    I find Sex and the City really annoying. It's like it's trying to be edgy but it's really not. It's like it's edgy to small-town housewives but not many others. Was it edgy for its time or something? How long ago was it?

    Anyway, it's all like...

    Blah, blah, blah sex. Blah, blah, blah, sex. In New York, blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, sex, blah, blah, sex!

    It's like it's trying too hard.

    On the way to work this afternoon, it occurred to me the incredible canyon of inconsistency one's neurotransmitters must have to traverse in order to maintain the belief that access to birth control should be legislated but not environmental protections. It's bizarre when you think about it. Like, Monty Python bizarre.

    On the way home from work this evening, I realized that I don't care what anyone says. I like Miami bass.

    The guy took my check for the final payment of the loan he lent me, then turned around and said I owed him more money for things he said I would pay him back for covering during a vacation we took together (Dragoncon last year). Basically, he is trying to get more money out of me. He has threatened to take me to court twice over not paying him back fast enough and now I'm sure he is going to file to paperwork to take me court for less than $400. He has no paperwork to back up his claim but he is trying his best to trap me in text messages saying I will pay him the money. The guy is broke and is looking for ways to make easy money without resulting to drastic measures... like getting a job.
