Just had to tell a company who was hounding me about how our websites and hosting are priced to shut up and get out...

I just received an envelope. My name and my address written on it.
I open it and I see XXXXX from Co. Kerry, Ireland sending me 5 poems for my consideration, together with his biographical details.
He calls me "Dear editor".

If there wasn't an Irish stamp at the back of the envelope, I'd have been sure that someone is fucking with me.
I'm not sure if I understand what is he saying in the poems, but it looks like he's writing about murdered women, in all 5 of them.

I checked the site he gave me and he really exists.

WTF?

    You don't understand, I argued with them for 5 hours Friday to get a contract wired-out to their acceptance, and they did. They accepted the contract. I was about to drive it over to them to sign it and they called me today and said it was wrong and they wanted me to come down in price......for a third time.

    I told them the price was the price and if they didn't like it, to get out.

    I can't post all 5. Here's one

    The third attempt

    At dinner she'd pressed
    a delicate fork in,
    moving the fish-flesh
    from the bones,
    then played a while
    with it on the edge
    of her plate.
    No one noticed.

    Then she made-up real special,
    wore the new Christmas dress;
    held the boyfriends hand
    going out the door.

    The family dog screamed
    in the night; they found
    her feet first
    in the shed
    after the disco.

    :shifty:

    General rule of thumb is to make your client happy. You might not like giving them a cut price but the obvious long term business & word of mouth exposure would definitely work wonders for your company.

    There are so many times where i'd like nothing more than to behead a client but ultimately, you have to bend over backwards to make that dough & keep it coming in.
