mapsedge: Me at Stone Bridge Coffee House (Titanic)

But...but it's Wednesday...

Ahhhh, there's nothing like starting your day with walking into your office to find a client standing at your desk with a pair of cocked six-shooters growling, "We're gonna make you dance, varmint."

Metaphorically speaking.

So, instead of a quiet morning programming on a new project, I get to be frantic for a few hours.

It's the clients that pay the bills...It's the clients that pay the bills...It's the clients that pay the bills...

The problem is that some of the clients I'm dealing with, don't pay their damn bills! Accounts payable...grrr.

They may pay the bills, but I demand they keep it professional and non-personal.

You start going off about my competence, intelligence, or ability and you're going to start dealing with a very slow, uncooperative support person who will drag your little problem out to a painful degree. I have been in computer maintenance since 1975 - you hurt Me, I might have to hurt you back - and I know how to do it so you'll end up thinking YOU did it to yourself.

I may even decide that I can't help you because "it's a Windows problem" and send you off to tilt at THAT windmill for a few days before you come crawling back with a better attitude.

The clients may pay the bills, but you can get more clients! :D
