Just had a publisher decide that rather than figuring out how to send me a clean PDF to fill out, they're just going to physically mail me the onboarding paperwork so they can pay me.

This process has taken MONTHS.

I did this reading in December.

I appreciate them picking something and actually doing it instead of stiffing me and making me turn this] into an Issue but like.............

You guys.............................

uhm

y’all could literally google ... fillable pdfs...

LMFAO they sent me one and somehow it turned out crunchy, so I was like "well what if--" and then the lady handling me was out of the office for two weeks.................. which turned into silence for months and just now she went "we're mailing it to you, this is your address right? :]"

Me: I....... I mean, yeah, but--

I SINCERELY HOPE THEY AREN'T THIS MUCH OF A MESS NORMALLY but also like....... am I REALLY the first person you've EVER worked with who only operates online or like...............................

um........

I've been REALLY patient because part of this is my fault for not having a printer at home and no library access because of a pandemic, but like............

I mean, that doesn't really sound like any of it's your fault. Just unfortunate circumstance.

And very bad organisation on their end.

Yeah, it's a LITTLE baffling tbh......... but at least it's moving forward.

holy shit

god

at least they ARE paying you
