Oh, sweet Jeebus.
Just got a call from a former client. She wants to hire me again. I've managed to avoid her for a couple years but she changed her phone number so I didn't know it was her. Damn. :banghead:
Back when the Black Muslin Sochalist was elected she sent me an invite to a teabagger rally. That's when I decided I don't need her money that badly.


Anywho...here's the funny part. She also has a new email address. She changed from AOL to reagan.com! Because, she said "I didn't like some of AOL's liberal stuff" :eyes:

Check out this crap from Reagan.com

Hello, I am Michael Reagan, son of President Ronald Reagan and like you I am deeply concerned about the future of our country.

Unfortunately we have another problem. People who believe in true Reagan Conservative Values are unwittingly supporting the Obama, Pelosi and Reid liberal agenda! What do I mean? Well, every time you use your email from companies like Google, AOL, Yahoo, Hotmail, Apple and others, you are helping the liberals. These companies are, and will continue, to be huge supporters financially and with technology of those that are hurting our country.

Is that where you want your money to go? I didn’t so I changed things. I came up with the very first conservative email service provider. You now can put your name next to the name of the Greatest Conservative of all, my father Ronald Reagan.

...

When you purchase your email address @Reagan.com you are supporting truly conservative causes and the proceeds from this conservative initiative will help me promote true Reagan values to win back our country completely in 2012.


I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

1. No harm can come....
.... from shifting money from the pocket of a conservative to that of a liberal. I would accept her business gladly.

3. My doctor says I'm supposed to stay out of stressful situations
My BP can't take it.

I already lost most of my hair working for a ditto-head during the Clinton years. I went the self-employment route to avoid these people.

But I suppose I could take the money and donate it to Planned Parenthood.

12. You're discounting the harm to the mental health of the OP.
I'd advise the OP to include a hefty surcharge to cover mental health visits and possible treatment for bruxism.

7. Take her money
and if you still feel too bad donate to a liberal cause. I find it funny that in order to avoid giving liberals money a conservative would give up free email to purchase a conservative email account. Pretty much sums up the conservative mindset.

9. Send her YOUR new email address:
"TrickleDownMyAssAtReaganDotCom@Gmail .com" and send her your new address.

Then you won't know whether to laugh or laugh. :evilgrin:

11. Does what you do for her take a lot of time? . . .
I've found, in some instances like this, that much as I despise the client, if the project won't take too long to complete I do it with my breath held and as little contact with the client as possible, then dedicate the profit to a progressive cause. Of course, if the project is expected to take an inordinate amount of time, involve extended close contact with the client, or conceivably help them out a little more than I'd prefer, I opt to pass and spare my sanity.

13. Take the money!
In fact, tell her you're donating to one of Ron Reagan's causes. You don't have to tell her it's Ron Reagan, Jr. Sorry I can't provide you with any suggestions. No searchy for me at worky.
