Strangers
I'm not sure what happened. I used to be really mellow and laid back. But as I grow up, I find myself growing more and more aggressive and easily angered.
Well, I think it's just the outlook of people who expect others to do unto them.
For example, yesterday night I was enjoying watching some TV after busting my ass doing some work ... when this stranger calls me up. He has the nerve to ask me to make a webpage and give them webspace for free. Out of the blue! And then when I said my schedule was booked for at least a week and a half, he sounded dissappointed. As if well-skilled designers were sitting around, waiting to do pro-bono work on the spot.
I mean, it's one thing to have the nerve to ask that, but it's another to call me up and ask it to my face.
I guess I've always been a favor of the "using friends" theory. I don't mind it when friends (or hell, even acquantainces) ask me to do work for them, since I can always say no. But when strangers have the nerve to do that ... that just boils my blood.
In any case, here is a plug to an audiomatch-type service: http://www.audistream.com . Looks promising with a lot of features. Hope it does well.
