I am not a handyman as I stated before. And I will only do things like this (a) for someone I love and/or (b) out of necessity. I’ve been unable to do many of the things that asshole Shush has told me to do. The basic reason behind it is that this is NOT what I do for a living. He doesn’t seem to realize that I am not a carpenter, a repair man or even a handyman. I am an artist, an author, a businessman, a designer, a visionary and a lot of other things that don’t even come close to what he wants. I am an intellectual damn it! During physical education, I usually found a spot in the shade or in a corner where the coach would not see me. I would read, I would write, I would draw and I would try to ensure that the coach did not see me because he would probably make me do something terrible like play basketball, football or something like that.

I hate calling the customer service department of a business. Generally, it means being transferred to the right person/department/whatever more than once, hopefully getting the support you need and tolerating that horrible hold music and “hold advice” that they give. I am going to talk to you about a couple of my pet peeves in how a business runs and hopefully, this will inspire you to run your call centre in a more efficient manner. And know that until I can afford to take these measures, I am not going to run a call centre. In fact, I only give my number out to clients or possibly prospective clients. (more…)

As if problems I am facing already large enough, PayPal has locked my account because a former client of mine (Mr. Rehwoldt - thor-rehw@gmx.de) has decided to try to steal a sizable amount of money from me. I worked my ass off for this guy and he screwed me royally. And what’s worse is I still need the money to move to Montreal, Quebec. I have calculated that I need $2480 and I’ve already collected $40 of it. I’ll write an entire post about that tomorrow and I will post a network-wide announcement to try to raise the money I need. But this problem has locked out my PayPal account so I cannot take in more business until I give this guy a refund that he does not deserve. (more…)
