alexpgpAs a marvelous example of how not to do things ("Fire! Aim! Ready!"), I finally visited the Payment Practices web site to look up an outfit out of Chicago—it would be Chicago (go figure)—that does business as Cosmopolitan Translation Bureau, for whom I did a couple of small jobs a while back, the invoices for which remain unpaid.
Had I done that before undertaking work for them, I would never have agreed to do it, as Cosmopolitan apparently has quite a long history of non-payment. I've sent them a reminder, just for the heck of it, but I won't be terribly surprised to hear nothing back.
The good news is that the adverse financial impact due to this faux pas of mine is not so large as to make me cringe.
File this also in the Lessons-Learned Dept....
