Humph!

I resigned from my biggest client Friday. (I actually call it firing the client; that seems to make me happy inside.). When he got the letter, he called me and was actually very nice and ALMOST made me sad to leave. He said I had worked very hard for the company and they would miss me. That was the ONLY time in five years that he ever said I did a good job.

So today I look on Craig's list to see what he's advertising. And this is what it is: Full-time full-charge bookkepper; good communication skills, etc etc 10+ years of experience and 45 - 55,000 per year with benefits. I figured it out to be $22 - $27 per hour plus benefits. But he assured me that I would NEVER get a pay raise ar $21 per hour (no benefits). I assume he is expanding the scope of the job to make it full time because I did it in 10 hours per week. I am SUPER irritated by this whole thing even though yesterday I felt great after he called.

But I'm done with him. I did a good job for him and could probably have done this "new" job but he is difficult to work for . I'm moving on, but somehow this is grrrrrrrrrrr.
