[QUOTE="keista, post: 464245, member: 11965"] [B]Witzend[/B] I so totally understand your frustrations. been there done that. Do you have a contract made up that you have your clients sign? If not, you should. Protects you as well as them. The way I see it, you are one of those nice ppl that will do whatever you can to help out. Unfortunately being nice just makes ppl take advantage of you. Set your boundaries and stick to them because you are NOT his employee, you are a BUSINESS WOMAN! (hear me roar! :) ) That whole time thing made me laugh. The last job I had as an independent contractor, halfway through the contract period, my "boss" instructed her assistant to instruct me to email when I came in and left. What made this so laughable was that I was providing detailed time sheets, and was even "signing out" for cigarette breaks! I asked the assistant if she wanted me to email her for each cigarette break as well? No skin off my nose. No, just in and out was sufficient. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR [/QUOTE]
