[RANT POST, IT’S NOT PRETTY, APOLOGIES]<\/p>\n
just talked to my coworker about that problem lighting contractor<\/a>, who two weeks ago sent me three passive aggressive ranting-out-loud emails (though he apologized at the end, sort of, by saying “I was afraid I might damage our relationship,” hahaha no but yes), but i totally heard out his issues, totally consulted my book<\/a>.<\/p>\n anyway, but next week, we have a visual arts opening, community dinner and band, of course unfortunately we need him.<\/p>\n i told him the band would be playing outside, in daylight, so no lights needed, but i did really need him to light the community dinner. he said fine, great.<\/p>\n but then he talks to my coworker today about how he thinks we really should light the band.<\/p>\n no big deal, chill nicole, peace please, but it rubbed me the wrong way, because excuse, talk to me, second ex-cuse, the band doesn’t fucking need lights, third excuse, i would never get\u00a0 him to do the lights at this point, because he’s already overcommited (he’s lighting the show and the dinner, which is a ton of work, and almost every event we’ve worked together, he’s finishing it at the last minute, or forgoing something i’ve requested because he’s run out of time, why do we have to play out this cycle every time?).<\/p>\n plus he just told me that he was going to raise his prices (“I understand that the rate I charge is the same rate you pay high school dropouts from Mexico that paint the gallery. I charge less than 40% of what you pay IT subs and less than 30% of plumbing subs, about 50-60% of the going rate for a welder. I think the solution is to start billing at a more realistic rate like I charge for other lighting gigs.”<\/em>) please, for sure do that so i do not have to get these emails ever again.<\/p>\n Love, [RANT POST, IT’S NOT PRETTY, APOLOGIES] just talked to my coworker about that problem lighting contractor, who two weeks ago sent me three passive aggressive ranting-out-loud emails (though he apologized at the end, sort of, by saying “I was afraid I might damage our relationship,” hahaha no but yes), but i totally heard out his […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7037","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookbinderlocal455.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookbinderlocal455.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookbinderlocal455.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookbinderlocal455.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookbinderlocal455.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7037"}],"version-history":[{"count":31,"href":"https:\/\/bookbinderlocal455.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7037\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7109,"href":"https:\/\/bookbinderlocal455.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7037\/revisions\/7109"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookbinderlocal455.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookbinderlocal455.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookbinderlocal455.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
