TGIF everyone.
It is a good Friday for us. One of the clients that was not really feeling like paying us suddenly realized they really needed some of the data re-processed in a certain way to show the results a clearer for their clients. That told us for sure they were trying to use the data, and not pay for it. So guess what. They are now a pay BEFORE we do squat client. So we will get a nice electronic payment and then we will look up the old data and start re-processing it. Zero cost for us except some butt time in front of a computer to clean up the results to show more clearly what is reality. We don't change the final results, we just present it in a clearer format.
Even better they want us to start flying the project again. We want two weeks paid up front before we drive to the airport. They will need to keep a two week prepayment in our account to get anything from us. We will operate on their money this time.
They are our only NYC based client. Hopefully all Yankees and not as slick and sleazy as they seem to be.
We were smart enough to only give them the final results. They can't reprocess it. We have the raw files and we only send them 1/2 the the resolution that we could send them. It is real easy to lower resolution and impossible to "res it up." Especially 3D data. We ain't no bunch of dumb Okies after all.
