Alright Ellisa, I'll send traffic to Moms Need Cash and Reality Porn Pass. BTW Great work on those sites good job.

And feel better, unfortunately the world has changed, people do go back on their word, except for people like Tony Montana, usually if they promise they will kill you or hurt you in some way it will happen. If people's business relied on their word, there would be many out of business and stocks would be tanking.

As I have posted here before the 5 business rules

1. Trust No One
2. Believe Nothing
3. Sex Makes You Stupid
4. If it looks like a skunk smells like a skunk but portrays themself as a flower it probably IS A SKUNK
5. Any decision made out of emotion is a WRONG decision

There and I am sure some GFYers could concur my rules!

Take Care Ellisa, Ill send some puggy love to you from the Monty!

I find that a lot of the people I have verbal agreements with eventually come around.

Most of the time it's because they don't remember everything and need to be reminded what they promised. :)

One of the down sides of mixing business with pleasure.

i was just talking about the same thing with an IM buddy, last vegas I got an end of the meeting hug and hand pump(non sexual) with this program owner saying he was so glad we are doing business, and said contact $%%^ then right after the show, it was like dodge city ghost town. no replies, online ICQ but no responses. i felt like an x-girlfriend stalking them for a week before i gave up. funny, kinda. ok not at all funny and more like suck.

Call me.

Your are so right Ellisa- it seems people like to lie and cheat there way to the top. It is especially frustrating when people do that in the guise of friendship and co-operation - when all they are looking out for is themselves. This will help them in the short run - but the main thing is that these people are inevitably figured out - They tarnish their own reputation without the need for anyone elses involvement. Well at least that is what I hope - Karma is a funny thing - and it has a way of sneaking up on people. We are all faced with people who are inconsiderate, self involved, and detrimental to everyone around them. But like any other parasite - they usually have short life spans.

i'm so glad i kept my word :thumbsup

Princess Ellisa 08-30-2004 01:58 PM

I feel slightly better about everything....I knew this rant would help!

But to that person...I do believe you know who you are even if you don't want to admit it to yourself....

I hope that one day someone shows you this same lack of respect, so that you can learn from it. Perhaps at that point and only with matched circumstances, you will see why your word should have been a little more solid.


I am sooo glad so many of you share this opinion!

sorry i was drunk :2 cents:

nah j/k but seriously

Be careful of the words you say,
Keep them short and sweet.
You never know, from day to day,
Which ones you'll have to eat.


However many holy words you read,
However many you speak,
What good will they do you
If you do not act on upon them?--Buddha

My father was the same way. He was from Russia. His handshake was as good as his word. That's how he taught me.

Sorry to hear your rant, Elissa.....hope you get it all straightened out....

pornJester 08-30-2004 04:57 PM

That happens alot in this biz. Especially at conventions where people have had a few drinks.

I never promise anything I can't deliver. If someone wants to do business or cut a deal I tell them straight up what my end of it entails.

born4porn 08-30-2004 06:02 PM

that is their loss Ellisa, you atre always a pleasure to deal with! :thumbsup

Tanker 08-30-2004 10:29 PM

It does suck to have someone go back on their word I agree

So I have been losing sleep. Not because of anything really traumatizing but I am just royally frustrated at seeing how some people choose to be....

Here is my problem... I don't like people that go back on their word. I hated it when I was a kid, I hated in high school and I have discovered a whole new dislike for it here in the working world.

When my father did business years ago in Europe it was all done on a handshake and a verbal agreement. None of those men ever broke their word to my father, nor did my father to them. They are still working off of that same hand shake from 26 years ago.

I think it is sad that in this day and age lengthy agreements with every possible loophole covered need to be put together before we can proceed and even then they are not always solid or binding.

So what is my message? My point to this lil' tirade?

If you make a deal with someone verbally or on paper follow it through to the best of your ability. If you are unable to because of changed circumstances sit with the person you made the deal with and try to work around it. Don't make a rash decision that benefits only you at that moment in time. It will come back to bite you in the ass. Particulary in this industry where your business associates are in many cases also your close friends.

Have the backbone to stand by your word and the courage of your convictions and you will always succeed. When you look out only for number one....as important as that is... there are often natural and logical consequences to that decision.

Okay I am done. And I feel better. Thank you.


Ellisa

Awwwwww, I feel for you...I just posted something similar the other day on this board....sick of it. Hope you are good, and full of smiles today!
