I just went to a client who went ballistic when I put in a £200+100 invoice, the 100 being for something yearly that was up in april; the 200 was for about 6 months work at full-time of features. The payment is due in 4 lots of 200, which now the next lot is due. Apparently I'm a fucking cunt and everything for it, but I don't care about that. The guy is the tightest man I've ever meet when it comes to anyone outside his family... we all get min wage type money; while the family gets double what their counter-parts in other companies are getting.
Anyway, he sold the company, old people are out, new people are in, but it could take months for me to get my money. The manager who I've been dealing with, who wasn't there at the start, and thinks he's out of a job too, told me to go in tomorow with a technical documentation about what I've done. I said to him, "I'm not routhless in buisness, you know this, but just so you know, I currently own that website printed on all those documents, and I can charge what I want for it. What happens if you don't pay the telephone? the electrictiy? Listen, I don't want to go down that road, but you know where it leads, that domain is worth a lot, and I can easerly revert back to what has been paid for and provide a zip file for you to do what you want with, and leave you to do what you guys want".
The manager guy who I'm dealing with said he would have done that a long time ago if the boot was on the other foot.
