Ah the phone calls begin again. It seems i submitted an invoice to a particular client, and suddenly they stopped calling me. I actually had not heard a peep from them in almost a month. It seemed like we understood each other fine. I don't work for free, so if you don't have the money to pay me, don't ask me to do work for you. :) So.... I guess what needs to be said is this. I talked to one partner in the company and asked him how i should most politically submit this request for money. The first thing that he asked was that i lower my hourly rate. Ok, i made that accomadation. Then he asked for me to account for all my hours. Ok, that is more than fair. I did that as well. Finally he told me to fax the invoice to the office for the other parter to approve and cut the check. Ok, done. Before the fax these guys were calling me 2 to 3 times a day asking me this and that. We were workin on a whole lot of shit. After the fax. SILENCE. Well, long story short. One parter is not talking to the other. DUH. Anybody could have guessed. So as one partner makes promises of a retainer and loads of work, the other partner screams "WE HAVE NO MONEY". LOL. So where does that leave me? Well, they're finally thinking about their position. I have all their source code. I have all their CD masters. AND they need a new master cut. So now it seems that they are calling on me again to volunteer my time. And not just one of them. ALL of them. Both partners and the office manager. I hope they read this. There is one way to get in touch with me. SEND ME A CHECK.
