Jeez - what a day!

The customer asked me to do the reports, he even emailed me his bit so I could edit it to look better informed.

 

I've heard nothing (surprise surprise) and his decision deadline has long passed.

 

I think the most grown up thing to do is to invoice him for all my time - he's aware of what I did. Whether or not he pays I will not worry. I don't really see how I could ever work for him again now - Invoice and forget (nice surprise if I get the payment).

 

If he ever contacts me again I may well feel like saying

'This is embarrassing, but since we last spoke i've found some other customers who are able and willing to pay me a bit more so I feel I ought to give them a chance'.

 

No lost sleep - well only trying to keep up with wind blown trees.

Well - I sent an invoice for my 'consultancy' ages ago and .....

this morning I received a cheque for the figure I invoiced!

 

I will probably never work for him again but I feel a lot better.

 

I love a happy ending.

 

PS I don't know if he ever got the work done by 'Batman' but don't really care.

Having read all the posts, I think that's brilliant news! And I hope your mum is felling much better too :-)
