Been trying to collect some pay owed me for work done. It's not a lot, but people often don't realize just how sorely needed every little bit is in this predicament -- even folks that can be rather close to the issue often just don't "get it."
Even relatively "trivial" amounts of cash, or other resources, can make all the difference. For example, I'm still paying over $200 month for storage of my remaining possessions. If I'm late getting that paid, there's a $40+ late fee too. So ANY amount short of that on time, then costs me another $40 immediately.
Yet, they're a coupla' months behind in paying me now, as it is.
So I spent more hours on end having to hang out at a cafe Fri. nite and Saturday, attempting to arrange things via email, too. Why they wouldn't just call me, even after I reminded of my cell number and asking them to, is beyond me. So I had to just sit around indoors during the good weather and had to keep buying the coffee that's the "rent" to be there, too.
And it appears that I wasn't able to actually get paid yet. In fact, I couldn't get them to clarify with me all the necessary details for that, either. I've not before imposed these kinds of situational, personal factors in our interactions, but they've been dropping the ball so much for so long now, that they've burdened me with real additional problems as a result.
So I thought it was time and fair for them to both know the effects and make good with me, finally.
Not yet. My passage into Spring....
