08:17 PM zhanx: so one company is not trying to pay me, due to a 15 minute billing interval
08:22 PM zhanx: so i said fine i will be in the area friday and will take all the equipment back out you can pay someone else to do it
08:26 PM Tom_L: their reply to that?
08:27 PM zhanx: waiting on it, the manager freaked out and said she had to push it up higher
08:28 PM zhanx: I have call logs of me trying to call them 5 times before they answered
08:29 PM zhanx: plus told her, if they keep wasting my time over this, I am going to bill them also for the time on it
08:29 PM zhanx: if they don't pay I will just bill them 2 more times and send it to collections and write it off on insurance etc, not going to waste my time on them
08:30 PM Tom_L: doesn't sound like a good client
08:30 PM Tom_L: probably not a repeat customer
08:44 PM zhanx: its weird I have done a ton of work with them and its this one manager that is freaking out
08:44 PM zhanx: i gps log my location when I call them and take a photo of the call logs to cover myself since last year
08:45 PM Tom_L: not a bad idea i suppose
08:46 PM zhanx: its covered me before
08:46 PM zhanx: i started it when I was given the wrong address for a job and then realized no one knew the right location
08:47 PM zhanx: takes ten seconds to do it, worth it
08:53 PM Tom_L: do you ever record them?
09:15 PM zhanx: the calls?
09:16 PM Tom_L: yeah
09:17 PM zhanx: no i have not, should I?
09:17 PM Tom_L: not if the logs are convincing enough
09:17 PM Tom_L: i never have
09:17 PM zhanx: well i figure, call time and location should be enough
09:33 PM rue_mohr: hi
09:34 PM zhanx: sup rue
09:35 PM rue_mohr: I woke up, we have an order for 2 more paint sprayers
09:35 PM rue_mohr: thats about it
09:35 PM rue_mohr: I want to test that z80 code
09:35 PM rue_mohr: yes, thats a good thing to do now
09:35 PM rue_mohr: but starting some handle prints is a better idea
09:37 PM Tom_L: behind on parts?
09:50 PM rue_shop1: they wanted colours we dont have in stock
09:51 PM rue_shop1: black and red for a 3 inch sprayer, so I'll print off a few
09:51 PM rue_shop1: we have the plastic
09:52 PM rue_shop1: Tom_L, there aren't many entries to the cnc competition, I suggest you think of something and throw it in, at least you might get a vise out of it
09:52 PM rue_shop1: they like shiney things with sparklie clean pictures
09:54 PM Tom_L: i'm not all that motivated lately
09:54 PM rue_shop1: ponder it!
09:54 PM rue_shop1: I'm trying to think of something,and I'm putting too much effort into it
10:11 PM Tom_L: what do they expect to see?
11:12 PM rue_mohr: they want instructables added to their site
11:13 PM rue_mohr: they like artzie stuff with crisp clean photos, but content that shows people how to make things
11:13 PM rue_mohr: not always even complex things
