Oi... I am a mess.

I had the first business meeting of the year. Running on 2 hours sleep (by choice). The Author is still as flakey as ever. Now she wants to do some 'Chicken Soup for the African-American Woman's Soul' book ( Read more... )

food, work, frustration

And that's the same flakey author that you've been invoicing all year? Geez ... girl, you are patient. >_

bapgacktgrrl September 11 2005, 04:58:24 UTC

And she's STILL one payment behind. If you can believe that shit.

I'm either paitient or a big ass idiot. I am starting to lean to the latter.....

It would be nice if you could sic some collection people on her. Could you charge her interest or something? I'm not sure how this stuff works.

I don't even wanna go there... I am really trying to be civil.

You know, while part of it is the money, the main part of it is *how* she treats me that drives me apeshit. That's it more than anything. It's fucking condecending. And you know why I did it from the start? Because my MOM made me be nice to her. And now she's all like 'I don't know why you let her talk to you like that.' I am like, "Because you bloody well encouraged it!" She gets amnesia when I mention that....

Not slapping patronizing people is something I work hard at all the time. And I alos find 'Synchronicity" an effective deterrent....:)

"The telephone is ringing....is that my mother on the phone...?"

LOL I know. I also try not to be patronizing myself, because I hate it when people do it to me.

"Another industrial ugly morning.....every single meeting with [his] so-called superiors is a humilating kick in the crotch..."

Damn- did Sting know how to purge. :) My fave part of that song is the total primal scream he gives druing the bridge- I usually turn that part up full blast for maximum effect.

This purging effect also works well with 'Pretty Hate Machine'. :)

You know? I'm finding Foo Fighters are grooving me for this reason. They're visceral, they are.

bapgacktgrrl September 12 2005, 03:08:17 UTC

Definately. Foo Fighters are awesome. Especially the last album. And I love 'Learn to Fly."
