Backstory. I worked for a small web company (@$$holes and ***buckets...all of them). They pissed away all their money (2 of the "owners" were dipping) and left me without pay for 2 months (Apr/May). In May I get a new full time job and quit with them and also I get this website turned over to me since no one there can do anything. This other company pays me directly for work I do for them. I find out in August they're taking the company back, (one of the owners in the small web company also is the head of marketing in this other one). I find out that the money paid to me from the website was supposed to cover what I wasn't paid before from the web company...which now just means instead of getting paid from the web company I now haven't been paid for work done for the other one...or I was just being a saint and doing it for my health. I beg and plead to keep them for September, partly cause I need the money since now I get nothing from them, and partly cause I was almost finished and I wanted to complete redo on the site.

So, due to these guys being insanely busy (agricultural site) for the month of Sept, my contacts both taking long vacations and them being sick I said I still wanted to finish so I'll continue working on the last part and just call it part of Sept's pay. We're almost done with this and I'm getting new requests now so I send them an email giving the web company's email for further updates/changes/fixes.

I then get back a snarky, pissy email from the head of overseas marketing guy (guy is an ass who thinks he's god) thanking me for deciding to tell them something a half a month late and no explanation and leaving them high and dry.

Of course my initial "Dude you can go *edited* yourself" email wasn't sent but one that explained that I had no choice in this matter and it was done by his company so any "communication" was done as far as I was concerned. I guess they'll need to take it up with the the head marketing guy who now has his fingers in a failing web company and decided, apparently without telling anyone else, that he was going to use company money to pay off his bad debts.

On the good side I sat down with my 4 yr old daughter and got half way through Empire Strikes Back before bedtime, we watched A New Hope last week.

Wow.

Guess I can't complain at my job at all tomorrow, then.

At least you watched Empire.

Sometimes works sucks no matter what we do to make it better. I hope things work out for you though. On the upside you got to spend time with your kid, and in my experience spending time with family is always the best way to wash away the stink from the heaps of crap we deal with.


Good luck dude, and may the Force be with you.

Yep family is awesome. A nights sleep and hugs from the kids and it's a new day.
