[olug] OT: Lawyer

[Hurley Rod]

Ahh, the memories come flooding back...back to the days of "We just need you to fix our contact database so it can do the impossible.  Can you do this today? Because the last guy had to come back twice and that cost us like a couple hundred bucks.  We really don't want to spend a lot of money, but those 100,000 contacts in there are the backbone of our business.

The joke here is the owner had her feet on her desk eating a whopper while making that request, and she was late for the 5:30 appointment (left me locked outside the building) because there was a line at the drive thru.  Sometimes red flags are too big to ignore.  

Good luck Craig, I feel your pain brother.  All I can say is if they didn't make you sign a confidentiality contract, start sending emails to everyone you know...   :o)

Long story BUT the owner/VP is on a power trip and I was the unlucky recipient of the current hit.  I was newest to supporting them so, "off with his head!" 

I find out tomorrow when there to pickup check if I need to continue to the court house to start paperwork.  Really sad too.  I think the workers there have their hearts in the right place!!

I have a very cheap alternative . . . it just takes a little social engineering.

Talk to the admin assistant and just casually mention that you haven't
been paid yet and ask if business is getting bad there.  What will
happen is that the assistant then starts fearing for their job and
they use their magic to investigate what is really going on.  Then,
suddenly, you get paid.

Admin assistants weld great power.
