I got an email today from my proofing editor, who actually works freelance for the magazine. Instead of submitting an invoice for the work he’s done for me this week, he actually suggested that, if I was so inclined, I not pay him for services rendered.
His reasoning?
I’m feeling sort of existential these days, so do as you like. Really.
There is a reason I work for a business publication rather than being in business.
This is almost in-line for him. Almost. Still, when it comes to paychecks, I’d assume existentialism would be duly shelved in favor of the survival instinct.
I’m paying him anyway. The email alone was worth the price.

I wonder if you can get worker’s comp for “Existentialist Funk”…

I think I have clients like that.

You mean they don’t feel like paying you, right? Nothing like dogging clients to pay up on an invoice from 4 months ago, dealing with their selective amnesia regarding services rendered…
