If EB was unprofessional in this, then so was jellohead by not keeping his/her/its employer notified of what was going on. that's also good business on the freelancer's part. Keep your contractor notified if things are behind schedule, work cannot be completed, something needs clarification, etc. So what if you wentout and got a job, congrats, but you still have a job to finish for this person as well. You can't just take the money and run.

He didn't give her a deadline or a time frame to work in. Both of them have agreed on this. She wasn't behind schedule, and she completed all the work. From what I've gathered in this thread, she did 3 FPAs for him, and he paid he without a problem. Then, on the 20th, he asked her for 5 banners. She did 3 of them the same day and then finished the other two between the 20th and yesterday.
EscortBiz is acting as if she had ignored him for several days or weeks. His attempt to contact her amounted to 2 ICQ messages over the span of 3 days. She didn't answer them because she wasn't there to answer them. So he posted a thread on here looking for her. Obviously, she's not a regualr here. She reg'd in April and has all of 10 posts.
The whole time, she was in contact with his business partner, who was aware of her situation and her other obligations. If his partner doesn't communicate with him properly, that's not the designer's fault. And then after she had sent the banners to him and completed her obligations to him, he gets on ICQ and starts giving her shit. At some point in the conversation, she mentions that she did the work and gave him a good deal. He decides to take this to mean "I gave you a good deal, so I have the right to ignore you" and starts to rip into her even harder, going so far as to post this thread.
Guess what, EscortBiz? You've done nothing but lose business for yourself and drum up a shit load of business for jellohead. Were those your intentions?
