    You know you could just write him a cheque, then call the bank to cancel payment on it. He'd typically call you up to bitch about it and it's easier to handle the confrontation on the phone than it would be in person.

    LOL, no bad idea then you end up with a lean against you and that will fvck with anything you try to purchase in the future.

    Yeah there are lazy people everywhere. Im like Java man, I go out of my way to make sure the job is done right and typically beyond expectations.

    I have done so much work for others all my life and have never shorted anyone except myself. I keep thinking other people are the same or at least do what they should do and just to trusting so I keep getting burned or disappointed.

    Yeah I realize he works for me and we are going to go over a few things in the morning before he starts working to finish his work such as the $$$ amount of material purchased vs what he said it would cost as well as what was done vs what was supposed to be or expected to be done.

    Still either way it sucks. I wish it would just go the way it's supposed to but I know by now it never does.

    I have a BIG project coming up in the near future and this just reminds me I will need to get EVERYTHING in writing and be diligent on keeping tabs on what is being done.

    Yeah I could hear the sarcasm dripping from the text. You probably like me have actually tried to convince yourself to do that, lower you standards and to do other things that are not quite ethical but I can never bring myself to do it.

    I think of all kinds of way I COULD made money, scam people or even BS women like most guys do in the bars/clubs but I just cant do it. I open my mouth and the truth always come out. Really sucks.... lol

    I'm pretty sure that prisons are full of people who started out with those same "really good" ideas.

    Personally, I'd rather have the pos in front of me. I want to go off on people all the time but I realize that my standards are higher than most ago I pick my battles. When I have a really good reason to and it's justified even in the eyes of the lazy public consensus, I want to do it in person.
