RUSH JOBS Who do they think they are?
« on: June 07, 2011, 02:47:22 PM »
I got a call just  15 min ago. Wanting me to STOP EVERYTHING to get something out right away. I say how soon is "right away".  Customer says like as in yesterday. I say I'm getting paid for this right? Customer says No. nothing.   Ok. It's another one of those jobs. I get a request from this customer like this about once a month.  I should FIRE that customer.

Too bad it's my wife. :-[

The pay sucks, but the benefits should be worth it.  ;D

I drop everything for the wife, I like her a lot. I also put her off a lot, hoping she'll understand...
