One of those Short Sales companies. Delayed payment for more than 3 months. Bounced and post dated checks.
It is amazing how he could keep a range of staffs.
Well, seems that the check for Jan-March $1450 has been cleared a day after the Friday deposit, unusually fast-for weekends, I hope there's not going to be any reversal.
Either way, I did stated that I'm not giving any more service until check clears, I've even told him that he could keep the money. Personally, I'd rather not have to deal with Hezi anymore even if the check clears. But, c'est la vie. Perhaps it's that I provide cheap tech support or I could really do a fine job...I'm more inclined to believe the former. Which, with all these busy schedules lately, I need to start considering my fees.
I'll give it a few days before I do anything with that money.
My only regret now would be that I didn't take that opportunity to convert this Israeli to Christianity. Would have been interesting:
Me: Tell you what, Hezi, you pay me and convert to Christianity, then I'll continue my service.
Hezi: Are you serious?! You know how offensive that is?
Me: Look man, your Jewish rabbis who pay religious visits to your company every Friday obviously aren't doing much prayer for you. Whatever you believe in obviously isn't keeping you straight with people. Maybe it's a sign from God.
Anyway, there are other worse clients I've had, like Wendy Diamond the obsessive puppy lover.
I do believe that treating Hezi and his assitant differently is important. There's no reason of her own to withhold my payment, she's not the boss.
