Tuesday:  February 18, 2014

Hopefully today will be better than yesterday.  Had an ex-client tell me that I was worthless and that he spent a great deal of money on nothing.

Sorry to tell him, I'm not worthless and HE chose to spend that much  money, I did not twist his arm to do so and I did do the work he wanted.  He is just pissed off that I cannot, will not and am not going to give him what he wants in the form of how much tax he is going to have to pay the IRS.

I have butchered his books.  I am not so sure.  I have done accounting the same way for over 10 years.  I went back to school to make sure that I knew what I was doing, graduated with a degree in Managerial Accounting, SUM LADA to boot. 

He is upset because I did it right, it is now in writing and I'm not willing, will not change what I wrote for him.

I tried to apologize, but when he would not accept it and keep yelling, that just told me right then that he wanted to yell at me.

It does not matter, but when he called me worthless and that I butchered his work, it really hit a cord with me and I am not willing to deal with anyone who does that to me.  It may not be very professional not to call him back, but I will not be talked to by that one of voice.  I left the real job world because of it, to start my own company.

Before I went to bed last night, I said the Lords Night Prayer and asked the Lord to help me find an answer if I am doing the right thing.

I had a dream, Karen and Jill were in it and they were telling me I was doing okay.  That I needed to keep going on and that I am doing the right thing.  I felt comfortable and was able to sleep the rest of the night.  I received my answer through a dream from two ladies I value their opinion either in the real world or not.

I woke up feeling rested, comfortable and ready to move on.

If I do not hear from Joe again, I am okay with that.  In my mind I have completed my job.  I was paid for the job I did and if he did not understand the work and cannot articulate in a polite business tone what he wants, but all he wants to do is yell and tell me what a crap job I did, when he had ample time to ask questions, raise red flags and be generally lazy, then that is his problem not mine.

On several occasions, I asked him if he wanted to go over the work.  I told him that I was going to do this for that and he verbally agreed.  His work was relatively easy to understand and I could follow him like snail moving through the sand.  I did what he asked and there is nothing more I can do, especially 1800 miles away from him.

If he wants to rant and rave about me, then he can.  He cannot hurt me here.
