No matter how hard you try someone always f##ks it up.

Let’s you have a website. Now you work on it to get it just the way they want it. It may have taken longer to set up but it the way they want it. Great. You tweak it so there customers can find what they need and a clear format.

Then one day one asshole gets lost and can’t fine the thing he was looking for and emails the people on the site and says they had a problem. Now this site may get up to a 1000 hits a day, and has been live for over 2 years. That’s right, one complaint in 2 years about there format.

So now they want to change the look and feel on one page because of one complaint. Now this page is not any different then any other page, it just list different content. I tried to tell them, the flow will not be the same. Everything about what they wanted will now be different. And there answer is “The customer is always right” Well if that is so, the customer is an asshole, because there not!

So how did I handle my customer? Did I change her website? Did I fold under because “The customer is always right”?

F##k NO! At some point you have to say “enough is enough” and walk away.

Yes I could use the money, Yes, they have been a customer for many years.

I guess I’m just getting sick of people telling how to be my job, when they have no idea what it takes to do it.

Yes, I know it’s been a long time since I wrote anything. Well it looks like I should start up again, so here goes.

A friend who has a podcast talked about friends who ever call. And I started to think about this because this is one of my biggest problems. No, I’m not the one waiting for someone who never calls, I’m the one who never calls. And I got to say that it’s been that why for me since I could remember.

Now days I have tried to be the point of contact, but it isn’t my thing. I don’t know why I just don’t like talking on the phone that much. Now I guess it all depends on who I’m talking to, like my wife or kids. I don’t go out of my why to not talk to my friend, the few I have, I just have a hard time picking up the phone and calling them.

I’m write this post on calling people because I have found myself in the same spot. I guess what goes around comes around. I have someone who I would call my friend. And of late, it seems like I’m the only one calling. So for the next few weeks I’m going to not call just to see if they call me. I think they will not. I think this because things between us have changed. How? Don’t know. They act like something is wrong any time I see them. (I say “they” us I don’t want to say he or she. ) I have asked if everything is OK, and they say fine. I know it not. Oh well, if there is a problem and they can’t talk to me about it, then there’s not much I can do. So the waiting game starts now.

If things change, I will update this post, if only for me. See you later as I will not be calling.

Friend,
Why is it that no matter what you do, or say people can always find something they don’t like.
We are not kids any more. If you have something to say to me just say it. If we are the friends I think we are, we WILL be able to move pass whatever it is. Not saying anything tells me you don’t care. I guess the next step is up you me. But that’s a big step for me. If you don’t care about me, how am I to care about you, which I do.

Last year I replaced all the windows in my house with that expensive
double-pane energy efficient kind, and today, I got a call from the
contractor who installed them. He was complaining that the work had
been completed a whole year ago and I still hadn’t paid for them.
Hellloooo,………..just because I’m blonde
doesn’t mean that I am automatically stupid.
So, I told him just what his fast talking sales guy had
told me last year, that in ONE YEAR these windows would pay
for themselves! ?
Helllooooo? It’s been a year! I told him.
There was only silence at the other end of the line, so I
finally just hung up.
He never called back.
I bet he felt like an idiot.
