The Horror, the HORROR!!!!

I just needed to discuss the morning I've had, so that other people can feel better about their lives. (Let me preface this by saying that I spontaneously vomited last night... so I'm rather weak this morning).

SO, I haven't been paid by my clients in a LONG time and I keep asking this one lovely woman I work for to check with accounting, which she has done now numerous times. This morning, she informed me that accounting had made a huge error and had paid someone else... and that the dude responsible was leaving at the end of the month and was crap anyway. She told me I should write them directly about it, so I did. Fine up till now, right?

Well, Bugalugs here accidentally copied my contact's original email in... so my best (and favorite) contact person there is now going to have issues with accounting (everyone knows that's the WORST position to be in) and I look like a complete, uncaring, idiotic CREEP... and I still haven't been paid and may never be, at this rate. I probably won't get any more jobs from these people, because who wants to work with someone so careless?

Anyhow, I'm close to (oh, who am I kidding? I'm IN) tears right now, hoping she doesn't get fired and I get my money AND keep getting jobs from them! Anyone have a similar story for me? Perhaps something with a happy ending?

On the flip side, if I don't have work from my clients, I'll be forced to change lines of work... and change is good, right?
