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.

Boy, do I know what you mean. Right now when I really need money the two places I could get it are not going to pay me.

ONE is a church.

The OTHER is my family produce company.

BOTH want free space and site design and NEITHER wants to pay.

You know you figure out who your real friends are when the chips are down. lol
