[AccessD] I told you of this one before....."wrong direction"

Wow Art, that is prophetic as a measure of a client.
And I totally agree. Their payment practices speak volumes for their
commitment and integrity.
Fire a client ? ABSOLUTELY. In fact, if you go to any Personal Injury Law
firm, they spend an enormous amount of time doing what ? SIZING UP THEIR
POTENTIAL CLIENTS. If they don't like em, they say good bye IMMEDIATELY.
Trust me, I have a good friend in that business.

I had a client from hell. Indian guy...IT director.
Fired his employee....then a lawsuit ensued (OF COURSE !!).
I got hired to pick up that work. It was crap (heard this before ?).
I worked like a madman to learn their business, their operations,
etc....there was no documentation (heard this before ?)
The Access database was in need of a total rewrite. No time for that (heard
this before ?)

So I kept on working....without getting paid.
Then they fired me, just when I had finished it all.
Asked for their really expensive laptop back.
I REFUSED to give it back without being paid.

Agency stepped in....called for a demo.
I demoed, they were happy, I got paid...on-the-spot, in full.

I was contacted to do some enhancements, they didn't like my price or time
estimates...
so I never heard from them again.
