Re: Doc always seems to be on vacation on previously proposed paydays

Amen. My main client used to be wonderful. I turned my invoice in on the
1st, my check was cut within two days and sent out. Then they decided I had
to turn them in by the 23rd to get paid by the first. Well, check started
getting later and later, sometimes after the tenth. I would email and
complain and now they say that their other "vendors" have net 45 days. I
said, well, that's fine and dandy but I'm not other "vendors". Now the
promise is I turn in on the 23rd and it is cut sometime between the 6th and
the 10th, best deal I could get. I still have to get on them sometimes about
remembering me and there's always an excuse. The sad thing is that my client
is a multibillion dollar audiovisual production company and I happen to know
that they are always late paying bills such as their Earthlink internet
account. Truly poor accounting going on. But, oh boy, like right now, they
sure do want their files back on time if not before time. They send them to
me, then a day later say, oh yeah, those are rush, we need them yesterday.
And these aren't 5-10 recordings. These are 149 minute conferences on
pediatric epilepsy, clinical trial training, everything under the sun....oh
woe is me LOL I'm just feeling sorry for myself since the main subs I use
all decided to go on vacation at the same time and I'm working 18-hour days
to stay caught up. {sigh}
