I never had a reason to dislike the French until now.
So you know JP, the French guy? I talked to him today to try to tell him I quit. I told him I didn’t realize the size of the work he was going to have me do, and he told me I shouldn’t look at it as one big thing but as one thing at a time. (One of the documents he wanted me to edit was 83 pages long and he gave me 88 documents, about 80 which are supposed to be formatted into a table in word, basically copying and pasting things in four different languages that I don’t know, but no big deal, one thing at a time.) Then I said I just didn’t have time because I am working a full-time job, sometimes having things on the weekend, and he just said, “You told me you could give me 15 hours a week, right?” in his annoying French accent. So I said well that was when you were going to send things to me earlier. You sent them a week and a half after I asked you to, when I had time. And he says, “But you were graduating.” That answers my complaint. But yes, I was graduating and that’s why I wanted them early, to do work while I didn’t have anything to do but was still at school because I had to graduate. But he refused to believe me on this point, responding, “Well that doesn’t matter. I sent them to you.” Okay. I said well I just can’t do this much work for no pay when I’m already working for pay. I just can’t. And he said, well I can probably find $1000 somewhere. That’s not the problem. WHAT?!?! Okay, so he can just pull out $1000 to pay me, but he didn’t tell me this when I told him I couldn’t work for him very much because I needed money. I am really starting to hate this guy. So I’m sending him what I’ve done to see if I’ve done it right, and then he might pay me to do the rest. We’ll see. But I refuse to edit his 80 page book. That’s just too much.
