“difficult” seems not difficult enough in this case

Head on the chopping block again

Probably the only “client” who will hire him.

The client’s son is just as bad, he’s a chip off the ole’ Mr. Block.

I’d say with Laura’s income, he should fire this one.

Will there be a day when Adam calls him Mr Blockhead?

Difficult as in he wants it on time and in English.

Time to start saying no? Or does he pay you outrageous amounts?

But his checks are good.

At least you still have a paying customer, so buck it up.

wow… she can really read people %

Are his initials H. R.?

You never know who is actually nice and does not seem so.

When I was much younger (about to be married in my late 20s) I had a client who had been very upset that I was who my boss sent to do his books . I looked much younger than I was and I started working for boss/going to this client just out of college and I had graduated from same at 20. Client was always upset and “looking over my shoulder” – which I understood as I looked even younger than I was.

It was my last visit to him before my summer vacation and my wedding. (I had been doing his books for about 5 years.) He kept me waiting and waiting for him to meet with me, as I finished up, for him to sign checks and for me to tell him if there were any adjustments to his checking account balance, etc. I was getting more and more annoyed. Then – it turned out that he had kept me waiting as he had not had a chance to wrap a wedding gift he had bought for me! I did not expect same from any of my clients and of them all – from him the least. So I learned not to expect anyone to be what they usually seem to be .
