Let This Be a Lesson to You

I was volunteered for some charity work through my company three years ago in a sort of auction. A couple of months ago, one of the people who purchased my services asked if the offer was still valid and I told them that it is.

The services they bought was for me to design and build a simple website for them. Sadly, when I agreed to the work, I thought others were going to assist me -- not so.

Well, now this guy wants a website for his business and I told him that I would do it as my schedule permitted. Unfortunately, my schedule has not permitted it. NOW, the guy is like, "This isn't for my personal photos. This is for a business."

And I'm like, "Understood, but you made your agreement with a charity."

The issues here are numerous, but the lesson I think people should bear in mind is that you get what you pay for. If you buy a cheap-ass website from a charity from people who didn't actually volunteer their services in the first place, you should expect rather poor service.

Ah well. We'll see what I can get done for him to get him out of the way.
