this is a bash / what should i do?
i did some site designs for a lady whose client will remain nameless. vague enough for ya? i always ask for half up front and collect the rest upon delivery of goods. this time though, the timeline was tight and i cranked out the initial layouts and gave her an invoice (with them) for my payment. Haven't heard from her since. And I come to find out, after the fact, that she is real, real, real bad about paying up on time and then paying up in full. She owes our studio something like $5,000 and other people have told similar stories of no moola arriving.
Here is the catch: She is our CEO's wife. Ugh. So you can't exactly strong arm her. To be fair, she has always been real pleasent to me but I want my F*^&ING money. It's the holiday season dammit. I need to buy gifts.
Next time I see her I am going to pleasently confront her. But if I get the "oh don't worry it is on it's way" and then no check deal, how do I handle this "kid gloves" situation? Mob hit?
sorry about crapping on the post,
