- I fixed a fucked up HUUUUUUUGE financial firm's online portal from the brink of no return with no backups
- I sorted out one of the biggest-venues-in-europe's site for something they're preparing

Just now a delivery guy just went phsyco on me because I didn't order a take-away and he tried to deliver it.

Today I've realised, that before I die, and preferably within the next year,I want to learn how to fly on a trapeze. I also want to meet the lions/elephants/tigers from the zoo.
What do you want to do before you die? anything awesome? Silly? weird? Illegal?

I watched Armageddon last night, thinking I'd seen it before and would just sort of snooze through it, turns out I was wrong and have never seen that film. It wasn't very good. When was the last time you were sure of something that turned out to be not true.

Ok, I wanna get out of a buisness deal, it's only 2 weeks old, and the person I'm doing it with is at a completely different level to me, but keeps on insisting on contradictions to me... which is frustrating when (1) I know my stuff and (2) she's made such silly comments that it really shows she is bullshitting her way*. I said she was OK at doing this before we started because I don't like to discourage people, but she really isn't at a level where I can put my name to the work, i'll ruin my work-history to anyone who sees that.
I was being nice and doing a friend-of-friend-of-friend a favour, and I'm really really up for doing it, in fact, I have done it and everyone is pleased. But friend-of-friend has turned that around into a buisness, one that pays less than half of what I should be getting, and even then, pays that spread out of a year rather than when the job is done. And the clients she's talking about won't pay for my skillsets (quite rightly, they don't need someone at my level).
Basically, I've moved on from the days where I was desperate for work, and I think its best to cut it out now rather than further down the line. But I'm not sure how to tell her, and I doubt she has the skillsets to do it on her own (good luck to her if she does). Plus, her personal circumstances mean that she doesn't really have many opportunities, she can't just go out and get a job, and she definatly wouldn't get a job working for a 'real' web firm for anything web-related technical.
Anyone got any tips on how I can be a cunt and get out of it?
TLDR: How do I let someone down gently who's relying on me?
ALT: G'wan, be an arrogant prick like me, tell me how YOU kick ass.

- "I'm a [system] expert, done a few sites, but I need to pay for the pro version", on free opensource software. This is in something I specalise in, and know inside-and-out. It's not that she doesn't know thats the problem, its just that, if she was talking about the 'pro' version of it, it means she was only seeing a huuuuugely cut-down version. But the software is free if you host it yourself, it's only cut-down if [system makers] host it. She didn't know any of this.
- When I said we are not designers, she got very defensive saying "speek for yourself, I am a designer".... she's not. Not at a level where I can put my name to anyway.
- She "gets every month" a website I suggested she looks at (that has 'magazine' in the title).
- Constantly is saying things that I know won't work or are wrong, and saying the same about me. Fair's fair, you'd think, maybe I am wrong....except I've been doings this for a decade and have more than just a couple of sites under my belt.
- Honestly, just trust me, she's just not on my level.

This Year has seen the taxman generally riding me.
I flirted with redundancy last year for a few months which coincided with a holiday. I claimed Housing Benefit for a bit and luckily came back from Ibiza to employment.
This year has seen a whopping tax bill to be paid by March, a letter saying I owe THEM HB money and now a letter asking for 2 previous employment P45's. Both companies are now no longer in action.
What has been riding your ass thus far?
Alt. Most overrated thing right now?
Im gonna say Rihanna.
tl;dr - Well stop being so lazy. What else have you got to do? Eh?
