One of those days when I gotta get ugly

My two most popular nicknames Are Quarternotes....and Godspirate. The name Quarternotes arises fro internet sites, whence Godspirate arises from the real world outside the internet. This named derived from the fact that man does not pay me, but God does. To me, man in his entity is but a steward of finances and wealth. I'm constantly asking God to guide me through this, often sailing through rough waters, since I freelance my experiences. Makes me feel somewhat of a frontiersman, or for lack of a better word, a pirate. Since I'm a one-man-show, this often means I have to put my trust into Business folk and clients, which doesn't always pan out. Today I finally had to call several contractors, real estate brokers, investors, and what-not to start getting my bills paid. I have worked close to a month, and only seen around $100. Phones are starting to shut off, storages are due, and my car has, "trust issues" with air thanks to the business who sold me a bad tire, but won't warranty it. I hate being this guy. Honestly. No one likes to get demands, but all the jobs are done, people got paid, and once again, I've been literally stuck in the cold. On the bright side, since I had to play collection agent, one bill is paid. Now my daughter can use her cell again. I'm just glad it was only off for one day. Do you know what it's like to have a 12 year-olds cell get shut off?....lol

Sorry you are dealing with all this friend. I know sometimes it is like talking to the wall to get these things done, but indeed, it seems you have the drive to do so, a blessing. Yes I can imagine about the 12 yr olds cell lolz

I'm so stoked right now. She is going to be exhuberant when she finds out her cell is on. I think that part bothered me the most...the., "providing" part.

I don't really think that you are getting ugly, It's simply asking them that their time is up and they have to fulfill their end of the deal or whatever it is, well if they don't then I think that's the time when you will really get ugly and the "you ask for it" stuff would ensue. Good luck and do keep as posted on what happens. Terrible when it starts to affect your family and it's not your own doing

It's all my fault, though. I waited until I hit zero again before I got ugly. Food ran out, bills are stacking up, and these guys are buying trucks and houses in front of me. I had to stay indoors for Valentine's Day thanks to them. So yeah, I dropped the friendship routine and became a bill collector today. Will let you know later what All happened today.

@quarternoes Yes next time collect soon as the job is done, some people find it so difficult to pay after services had been rendered already I don't know why. They have such thick hides hope they do not do the disappearing act or the " don't call me , I'll call you" sort of stuff even if they just live across your house.
