Had a student phone last night, a Saturday evening, at 6pm asking if I could do some lasering for him today. I suck air over my teeth and tell him to send me the designs and I'll see if I can fit it in as I've got a full day booked in. I was working 'til 11pm last night, nothing back.
I got in today. Sunday, at 11am and still nothing. I get on with my work and figure he's found a different path.
At 4.30pm he sends me the files.
I respond, telling him it's far too late in the day, and he replies with a response that is of the same calibre of bullshit excuse I used to pass as a student.
I'm guessing he's going to miss his deadline tomorrow, cos as soon as I've finished this next tranhce (@2 hours), Imma going home.
I'm always curious to receive shit like this - like, in his last email, he was genuinely surprised that I might not be positioned to take on a job so late on a Sunday. World doesn't revolve around your inadequacies, chum. It'll be a hard lesson to learn, but we all do.
- Well done!OBBTKN
- Not really. I'm not in any way proud of this exchange. Just irritated.
Always, so irritated.Nairn - Don't give signs of life until 16:30 on a sunday... That kid needs to learn more than just a lesson, not youOBBTKN
- Tell me his address and I will kill himdrgs
- imo, right lesson would be, to make it happen but charge him 3x or 5x.uan
- he is probably rage destroying your reputation on ticktock/twitter/... and blaming your business for not being professional instead of thinking it's his fault.uan
