A client canceling a $500 job after I had already set aside the time, started the research and counted on the money. Yeah I am pissed. Usually jobs like that are ones I get on my own, and I would get a deposit but this one was through a writing service. I have been assured I will be "compensated for my time" - not sure what that means yet. This truly sucks, especially after taking off some time last week for Thanksgiving.
People flaking out on me - appears to be a major theme lately. NOT good. Especially when I go out of my way to do good work, be supportive of people when they really need it, etc. and still get cancelled on at the last minute, screwed over, stabbed in the back, bad mouthed, etc.
I will never be like that and thank goodness for the good people in my life.
