You couldn’t have put this any better. It urks me at what we go through as professionals here PARTICULARLY IT professionals and freelancers. It’s like they just come in with this notion ‘hey it’s Guyana, things cheap and sweet.’ Times are changing and if we wanna be first world we need to catch up so we’re giving the clients top notch, up to date work and we expect fairness.

Unreasonably weird indeed.
Imagine how weird Benjamin Franklin looked standing in the rain with a kite and a key…

I don’t consider myself particularly creative, but I could see how I could be seen as weird by people the majority of society think of as ‘normal’.

Unfortunately, as you said, the terms weird and normal are relative, and defined by implicit society majority vote. Since, I’d venture to say, in any of today’s societies the normal people ‘go with the flow’, then it is the weird ones that dare to be different, on the off-chance that there’s something better out there. Thus, it is us ‘weirdoes’ that help to direct, shape and sometimes revolutionise our little world. As one quote goes (don’t ask me who from)

“Reasonable men change to suit their world. Unreasonable men change the world to suit them. Therefore, all progress is made by unreasonable men”.

Here’s to being unreasonably weird!

Like your writing style But it’s a serious topic. The symptoms you mention are the typical indicators that at least a certain risk exists that should be taken serious before it’s too late…

I think everyone have their ‘burnout’ moments and the good thing is that the ball is in your hand whenever you decide to stay focused.

Its just little effort needed to demonstrate customer service and some people make it seems like a burden.They fail to realise that if you treat the customer right then its more business for you.You treat them nice they tell someone else of your service and so the trail goes on and on and before you know it you have to have a second location.
Customer Service should be a big deal here in GT and i applaud you for taking a stance to try and make a difference.

Ahh I don’t think I want to name the company. I don’t want to influence you for or against a company. It was a shipping company that offers a mailbox service.
