Must it be told? Why do I even try? Nothing is worth the crap I am going through from people I used to trust for many years.
In the past few days I have lost over $500 in work I have done and people refuse to pay for even though I paid for parts and software and was told that I would be reimbursed the money spent for doing the work.
The worst one was a couple days ago for a systems and software update on several machines in New Jersey which I would have gotten over $250 for but got nothing instead. I was then forced to wait for a bus out in New Jersey out in Rt. 59 by the NY Border while it was snowing that night and I had no money to get on the bus at the time. I had to walk a mile to find mall to make an ATM Withdraw for bus fare and went back out to wait for the bus in the snow. That really hurt.
The others were just as bad money wise. And these were people I have had long standing dealings with where I do work for them and they paid me handsomely for it. But this only money, they have abused this friendship and denied me what they owe me for services rendered. And it is not like I can pull money out of my pocket and eat it. I can't do that, but in doing so, in spending money for software, hardware and tools for them, I am now in a situation where I am broke and am not able to buy food or bus fare after the weekend when my cash load reaches zero.
Am I looking for a handout? No. If one wants to help out and send a few bucks my way, that is on you but I would not refuse it. It would be greatly appreciated. I'm just hurt and pissed off that people would do this, especially people who I have developed a professional relationship with lasting decades. What did I do to deserve this crap?
