Well here is my deal. I got a phone call in the morning from a person “friend” that left me hanging for 8 years. He needed his computer fix. I thought ok it is bit strange but fine. Well his computer is in bad shape but I got it going.
Then he asked me about something else. Now this involves heavy lifting paperwork a lot of laws and a lot of time. Most companies knows that this type of service can take up to 3 months do develop the system he required.
Well not to blow smoke up my own ass. But I did a complete job within 48 hours because he was in hot water. 48 hours of not sleeping or anything. Well once I am done He was willing to pay 2% of the going price because “business is bad”
Here is the catch I “walk” he drives a brand new car. I have old piece of crap mobile phone. He has a brand new Nokia worth R3000. The point is he is telling me he has it tuff and how hard life is and all that... “It is actually kind of annoying” But he is not willing to pay me the full price or even half price no... He wants it for free and he is expecting me to jump through hoops for him.”
So at this moment I am really tempted to tell him to “p!ss-off”
So basically if I had a big phone and a nice new car cool looking office I think I would have been able to demand full price for my services and then some! But because I look desperate they think I can’t say no...
Well I can say no and tomorrow I am doing exactly that!
I don’t know... It is really a strange word we live in....
