Yeah, well, I still can't forget how one of my tuition kids and
his mom broke off all contact with me after giving me partial
payment for my services and promising to call me back after they
went for holidays.
It was just a couple hundred bucks.... but for a cash-strapped
undergrad, that was my transport and lunch budget for a full
month.
If they had been in financial difficulties, they could have just
told me nicely that they couldn't afford to hire me any more.....
heck, I would have returned the partial payment they had already
made.....
they could have just been cheap.
