Hey it's you not me!

This weekend I have come to the conclusion that I am dropping most of my accounting clients. This came about because of another stab in the back incident. I had helped a guy buy into a bar after he lost his last gig and helped one of my clients get that money that he needed and someone to help run his operation. That guy stiffed me on half of my finders fee. And the jerkoff that I helped get into the bar has another investor on the line and switched to that guys accountant. Now I am a big boy and business is business but this douche didn't even call me. He let his partner, my original client tell me this week just when it's sales tax time. I had helped and counciled and sheparded this douche through setting up a bar with another investor who eventually threw him out. I got him this gig at a good price. And he doesn't have the decency to give me a call. Clients just suck. I remember when I was working for a firm in the city in 1982. It was about a six man firm but we rented out two offices to two other accountants. One day at the beginning of the tax season, one of these guys dies. Right there in the office. His client who was about 90 years old comes out of the office and says "I think Mr. Rothstien is dead." So we go in and he sure looks dead. But with my Boy Scout training I try to give him artificial respiration until the para medics come. The other guys call a doctor in the building. He comes in and says "Oh that guys dead." The paramedics are right behind him and say "Oh that guys dead." They leave him on the floor and put a 1040 over his face. A cop is assigned to stay in the room and wait for the coroner. He closes the door, I think he was going through his pockets and desk to see what he could steal. So the next day it started. His clients would show up for appointments because no one knew to call them to tell them. The pussies in the office left it to me to tell them what had happened. Some of them were sad. Most were shocked. Some even cried. But within 5 minutes every one of them asked for their papers. People suck. Clients suck. They wouldn't wait for the guy to get cold. Don't ever think they are your friends. You are just a convenience for them. I can't wait to dump their sorry asses.
