pay me please

[Jester]

NOW you can celebrate!




And it only took, what, an entire month?

[flutes_and_fabric]

It's official! The check has cleared! I have been payed!

[flutes_and_fabric]

The check is in your hands, but considering all that has happened to date, I would not start celebrating until after the check actually clears.

haha, yeah, really. And just as you predicted I am indeed still waiting for it to clear.

Here's a timeline:
The job was on Wed, Dec. 15. (Brother's Birthday)
I signed the contract on Tue, Dec. 6. (My birthday)
I got the check Mon, Jan. 11. (... uh... Day after my friend Megumi's birthday...?)

Importance added...
Hurray for check!

The idea of payment in advance is nice, and good in general, but standard payment for a one-shot musician (at least around here) is that best option is you get paid day-of.

Oh, I pretty much knew that that was standard. And I was not suggesting to F&F to do that all the time with all gigs. Just with the school in question. And she has a valid reason to demand payment in advance from them: the current situation. Their history of payment sucks, so for her to do more gigs for them, I would definitely demand payment in advance, refundable of course if for any reason F&F can't actually do the gig.

CHECK WATCH IS OVER!

just opened the mail and there it was.

Just being honest.

Honest or not, Fratching is the place for comments like that, not here.

My that was an abrupt Fratching turn.

Just being honest. We all know that the media jumps on any juicy story they think they can get. Celebrity media is living proof of that.

The idea of payment in advance is nice, and good in general, but standard payment for a one-shot musician (at least around here) is that best option is you get paid day-of. Maybe they can hand you the cheque when you arrive, but if you insist on getting paid in advance you're probably going to lose gigs to the surfeit of musicians on the job market, who are used to getting paid after the fact.

True, but from working in the industry myself, I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather lose a few gigs here and there than to do gigs and get stiffed. Luckily, that didn't happen this time, but I like to not give people the opportunity. Getting paid day of before you perform is the best way to go.

Congrats on getting paid!

[Akasa]

I'm glad you finally got paid. /hugs

[depechemodefan]

I'm glad!
I just imagine it would be one douchbag not paying you, but I'm glad he/she got on the ball.

[bainsidhe]

Hurray and congrats on pay!

I'm glad they finally got your money to you.

That's awesome, and thank you!

I could see someone making that into a sampler, or a Demotivator poster.

Some of our customers are private schools and they are so *bad* at figuring out the most basic accounting, or software license management skills that's it's become a running joke around here.

As my co-worker Mark, often says:

[XCashier]

Took them long enough. Still, at least you got paid, that's good.
