The next email I received was from the United Way, the director would like to meet with me...
"We have many opportunities for great Volunteers, and I know you are one of those!"
I feel like I'm being PUNK'D!!!!

Each email came with it's own Zipped file of 5+MB. Haven't and won't be opening any.
first email of the day...
Gigi:
I am sending you a bunch of files that are scanned images with changes Boopsie wants. Most of them are pretty straightforward. On the logo, I think we have an old version...
NO I shouldn't have made the changes... I'd never be rid of them if I had.
They have their files, they can do whatever they want. Unless what they want is me to do it.
pointjockey.... you know you want to see what the loons sent me today....
sorry, but it'll cost you 4 more cents
I'm soo over...
Not releasing source files is not holding their files hostage or dishonest, if it states on the invoice that they're purchasing high resolution PDF files. Source files do not come at the same price as a PDF file.
Certain clients under certain circumstances do get source files. I'm upfront...
I've had someone ask about the wording in my "request for services" form.
Just in case someone else can benefit as well, here it is. The verbiage not the form.

Matt, you can't imagine my level of frustration with this. Being home-based and a one-man (woman) business... if I'm not with cleints I'm here alone day in and day out with no I can say... "is it me or are these people nuts."
Really, when it goes on this long and they don't seems to understand...
That just what I do with all donated work, invoice at standard rate minus discount! That's exactly what I'll do and include a similar note as well!
I'm not so sure I don't need someone here psychically. I can act tough in an email, but get me on the phone or in person and I'm a total pushover...
How can I send him an invoice when I already said I give him the files at no charge?
I'm guessing your not packing your bags to move down here, run my office and save me from myself???
When clients are here in my office I burn a CD for them, but in this case, I don't want them here. So, I'd upload the files to my site, which generates an email and a send them a link to download the files. I decide if there is an expiration date or if I want to include a note.
I could just...
Astro, i'm curious... do you have an office manager or do you do everything yourself? Even the stuff you're not good at?
Maybe I need an alter-ego.
This may seem off the point but it seems relevant to me.
A community leader, Mr. Big, took me to lunch a month or so ago and made a simple...
bigwebman, I haven given him the files yet. Should I still, since I said I would? I mean... he didn't even mention it. Seriously, I don't get this... i'm dumbfounded.
Shoot me! Just F'n shoot me now!!!! WTH kind of response is this????
Gigi: With all due respect, you are totally misreading this and it's not the first time. None of my comments were aimed at you or meant to offend you or blaming you. I was explaining how important it has been to use the stuff...
No, you're not confused, I have Flip-flopped. The business side of me wants to tell these people to take a flying leap. But the other side can't help but consider client's personal situation. My last email was my attempt to satisfy both.
You could not be more right!!!! I find it so interesting...
Doug, I agree completely, it is perfectly reasonable to charge them $200, for what I proposed but the truth is I believe they really can't afford it. The more I think about this, I'm certain their financial situation is the reason for their frustration. If Joni is able to use her stationery and...
