Yep, for lack of a better title, I’m just going to say hey lol. The next few days are going to be busy for me. Today, I’m working on a 2,700-word direct order on Textbroker (direct order means it was sent to me personally). Tomorrow, I have a 700-word on Fiverr, and then Friday, I have a 1,700-word order on Fiverr. I’ll try to squeeze in some short Textbroker orders in between the Fiverr orders. I was going to do the same tonight, but I’m not gonna have time (but I’ll get to that in a minute). So, I almost had a pretty big project on one of my writing websites, but the potential client kept going around in circles, dodging the question of word count and was disrespectful a few times. They even accused ME of wasting their time when I told them DAYS AGO that I didn’t feel I’d be a good fit for their project, but they insisted. So who really wasted who’s time here? Anyway, I was professional but blunt... I told them I didn't appreciate the disrespect, I no longer wanted to work together and to please not contact me again. They blocked me in return. Good. Lol. I need the money, but I don’t need the disrespect. I get the feeling I wouldn’t have made them happy no matter what I did, so no thanks. Clearly, I have other orders to focus on anyway. :) My agenda tonight is to work on this Textbroker order (which my client included all of the information I needed, yay!), get rid of a few more things in storage and run to the store. I don't WANT to go to the store, but I have a few necessities to pick up. Alrighty, I’m going to get this posted and get back to this order. You all take care and I’ll TRY to be back later. :) Photo Credit: Pixabay.

Some people will not be pleased so It’s best that you get rid of them.

Yep. I guess they thought they showed me by blocking me. In reality, they did me a favor lol. I was already tired of them before things really went south.

@RubyHawk Exactly. The back and forth messages that wind up in a roadblock... it wastes the time I could be using on something else.

@tammys85 Right when you see something isn’t working it’s time to get out.

Good luck with your work. You don't need to be disrespected. No one deserves that and the money isn't worth it. We all want to get paid, but you do need to draw a line somewhere.

@tammys85 You're quite welcome. I feel like I can relate, only because I was a car for six years. I know how people can be, and I felt with many over the phone and occasionally face-to-face.

@kaylachan Some people seem to forget that the other person has feelings too.

Thank you! Absolutely. I think some people forget that freelancers are people too. I'll play by the rules and be professional, but I'm not tolerating it.

Thank you! This client is 10x nicer than the one who contacted me on Fiverr. Actually, most of my clients are pretty cool. But sometimes, you just come across a bad apple.

@tammys85 You are welcome. There are good people in the majority. Also a few bad people in the bunch as well.

Please, help me set up my Textbroker page, so I see when there are Team Orders.

What do you need to set up? If there are team orders, they appear on the left side of the screen. You may be on inactive teams. I'll message you in a few.

Do you always encounter rude clients like that? Hope you get your writing assignments sorted out.

Not really. Most of my clients are pretty nice, even if something needs to be explained or we cannot come to an agreement. I don't know what this client's problem is, but they're not my problem anymore. And thank you so much!

@tammys85 That's cool, you should move it for sure.

@ihasaquestion Oh, I've moved on. I already had work lined up, and now, they're gonna have to find another writer. I hope they treat the next one with more respect than they did me.

I am a bit jealous of you since you have work at Fiverr. I guess my fiverr has gone down already

@tammys85 I may need someone to help me share it because I am not active in social media. Maybe I am not a social media person.

You are lucky to get the direct orders, I am not doing well on finding writing jobs, Someone got in touch with me through Upwork and said they would accept my job bid, Then I wrote to them and no word, Oh, well I pick up bits and pieces from my survey sites for now,
