Well kiddies...


Marie Laveau - Voodoo Queen of
New Orleans


None of the lovely things I wanted to post about seem to be springing forth. Instead, all I can think about are the things that are annoying me. So here we go.
Someone I have a great deal of regard for (this woman works like a Trojan) took the time to call and email me about a prospective client. She was just too busy to take on any new projects. So rather than let them spin in the wind, she suggested I should help them. Against my better judgement (these people bought Ligne Roset for their bedroom thinking it to be the epitome of modern), I dutifully followed up with a phone call and an email.
Guess what? Nothing. Not even a thanks, but no thanks. What a couple of ignorant @*%^s ! Who behaves like this? Mr and Mrs Ray Harriot of Bexley, Kent that's who. Mr and Mrs Ray Harriot of Bexley, Kent I hate you. Not, I might add, in a passionate Latin way, but rather in a disgusted French way.
Irrespective of the fact I know you won't read this.
A pox on your house, and on all who dwell in it.

A full moon, some chalk, a few black candles, a couple of live chickens, and we are all set... one pox and a little calamity coming up.

Oh how I've wanted to say the same thing to many prospective and active clients!! They can be so rude. Put a few bucks in their bank account and they think they own the world. You made me laugh my a$$ off. Thanks

Jackie von T - it's a giggle.

Aaaa nothing like a good rant, I had a similar experience, went a hour out of town to see wealthly prospective clients, did an entire scheme for them, had to make a second trip to confirm certain things, went above an beyond they went on holiday. Sent my bill and they have been avoiding my calls & emails eversince. They live in an estate so I can't just knock at their door at nine in the evening with my baseball bat :( Just shocking!! I totally relate!

NuNu pepe - I'm sure karma will see you right. I'd lay money on it. If you are dealing with the type of ex-pats I know that have moved to Durban - poor you. They were a pain here, they must be monstrous out there. Keep the good fight, you will win.
