I work sometimes for an elderly man (my ex boss, he closed his business) teaching him how to use a computer and sometimes helping with his taxes.
For about 2 weeks he has been on my back trying to get me to come to his house because he got a new computer and doesn't know how to work it, that new Vista program. I'm not against helping him but he doesn't understand that my business comes first. Anyone can help him learn the computer but only I can run my business. I have orders coming in and with the holiday season and a lot of orders I have to work nonstop all day everyday to get these orders out.
Not to mention that he lives 20 miles away and the gas money to get to his house is hardly worth what he pays me.
He started calling me and leaving me rude messages. The last message said that I have to work around his schedule and not the other way around! He knows I'm busy!
He's also a very hot headed person. He gets mean at times. I'm not the kind of person to just tell him "look, I'm busy and I'll be there when I can get there". He calls me and faxes me daily now.
What would y'all do?
