My email to the mean guy last week.

You treated me extremely rudely on the telephone and I do not recall ANY verbal conversation with you until yesterday, or Tuesday at the earliest. As you can see, I sent the specs first thing Tuesday morning. I had also told Eugene from Sp***** that art, even camera ready, needed to be in my Wednesday noon. I will be glad to send you a copy of that email if you don’t believe me. I am sorry if that deadline was not passed on to you and maybe I will learn a lesson about trusting the middleman between the newspaper and an ad agency. I do my job well and I deserve to be treated with respect, just as I have tried to treat you and Gail both with respect throughout the day, each time I have called, despite my distress over the missed deadline and the pressure I am receiving from my production department.

Hope

Thanks!

I am so proud of myself for not taking his crap. I am also glad Cory supported me in standing upfor myself. Cory knows a lot about me, including my past and I bet he is pleased that I did not let this guy abuse me and just take it, even though it did make me cry.
