Some people just don't think about other people. Especially clients who see people like me as toys they can just use at their whim. Remember the client who wanted me to go overseas for them? Here's what they thought was reasonable:
- Take cheapest flight from here to Singapore, arrive on a Sunday
- Teach Mon and Tues in Singapore
- Fly to Germany on Wednesday
- Teach Thurs and Fri in Germany
- Fly home redeye Friday
Like excuse you? It's a 12 hour flight from Singapore to Germany not even counting the time difference. Are you nuts? I would be woefully unprepared to teach. I need at least one day in each country to get my bearings let alone be prepared to be functional. Plus I am NOT flying economy for 40 hours total. Kiss my ass. We figured it out and flight costs alone will be 20-30k. Nope. There is NO REASON for this to be onsite if it's only 2 days in each country. Ridiculous.
So yeah that was my day. Fighting that. Dealing with a hyper dog. Spending the afternoon and evening alone. So fucking tired of everything.
