When Your Freelance Employer Owes You $1K (Always)

Was there something wrong with the invoice that I made out of a Word template

Did my logo made by designy friend not make it look even more Official

Here’s this document i made in word. it says here its an invoice, see? and it says my name which is now a business. anyway plz pay me, i have 0 accountant, have signed 0 contracts, and have 0 clout at all but please pay me, see this invoice?

Hello, about that outstanding payment

“Hi! How was your weekend? Way too much ice cream was ingested over here haha — by the way, do you by any chance have that check we talked about from April? And haha the one from May?”

Is this deadline flexible like my pay within 24 hours clause on my invoice is flexible

I know I’m part of the most spoiled rotten generation since dinosaurs got to stomp all over Earth doing whatever the hell they felt like with their big dinosaur feet and teeth, but money, please for the work I did, all I want

Perhaps there is something wrong with the quality of my work
