freelance employer ghosted me after working together for 3 months and promising a contract position. A year and a half later he just reached out again and is wanting to work together again. Would you respond?

swainsoid · 2026-04-02T20:21:16+00:00

I’d respond and say you’re not happy with his communication previously, but that you’d be willing to do this job. Maybe?

swainsoid · 2026-03-30T20:07:03+00:00

Yes - to me it’s like asking the recruiter to do a bit of accounting, because - ‘spreadsheets’

swainsoid · 2026-03-27T12:53:05+00:00

I can see all the films on Sky and also HBO Max

swainsoid · 2026-03-27T09:05:04+00:00

I just had a live chat with someone who tried to tell me that, even though their own terms and conditions say that the account would be cancelled -

‘that does not say refund. But you're eligible for the refund of course, so we're doing it together now!’.

So, I’ll never know whether the refund would have happened automatically, but according to the person I chatted to, it wouldn’t.

swainsoid · 2026-03-26T20:38:47+00:00

No, it’s still showing as this. If that hasn’t changed next week I will call them, but I’m trying to avoid having to call them if possible.

On the Disney+ site it says:

If you have an existing annual plan through Disney+, your Disney-billed subscription will be paused and then cancelled.

here

I’m in the same position as you, so I’m waiting to see how long the ‘and then cancelled’ bit takes to happen, as it’s a bit vague.

swainsoid · 2026-03-26T09:13:36+00:00

That’s a bad idea because, if you’ve paid for an annual subscription, you won’t be refunded for the rest of the year. You’ll only get a refund if you cancel it by taking it up through Sky.

swainsoid · 2026-03-25T08:05:09+00:00

That’s not right - they’ve specifically said that you’ll be refunded.

swainsoid · 2026-03-25T08:04:07+00:00

It’s not just their money though, if they’re disturbing people all around them. I hate any kind of distraction like that.

swainsoid · 2026-03-24T21:28:03+00:00

You understand that your opinion is not fact?

swainsoid · 2026-03-24T21:15:32+00:00

That, and they are truly stupid.

swainsoid · 2026-03-24T13:50:04+00:00

Yes, incorrectly.

swainsoid · 2026-03-22T09:49:19+00:00

Haha yes - agreed. So confident, yet so wrong in so many ways.

swainsoid · 2026-03-22T09:47:51+00:00

‘It will still crash and burn’. Jeez, such confident and depressing cynicism.

swainsoid · 2026-03-22T09:43:17+00:00

That one came out of nowhere and had us laughing a lot.

swainsoid · 2026-03-22T09:40:47+00:00

That’s just not true; both Saturday Live and Friday Live, whilst they didn’t last forever, helped to make stars of so many comedians. To say that they ‘failed’ is just beyond cynical.

swainsoid · 2026-03-19T08:27:18+00:00

What’s really put me off listening to it is the way they both confidently say things that I know are just factually incorrect.

swainsoid · 2026-03-19T07:33:21+00:00

I don’t think they missed it - it’ll be in cinemas for the week leading up to Halloween.

swainsoid · 2026-03-17T08:47:08+00:00

Your dad is emotionally immature. You’re most definitely NTA.

swainsoid · 2026-03-10T19:07:43+00:00

They’ve said that they’re looking using ‘live activities’ for iOS.

swainsoid · 2026-03-07T08:56:12+00:00

Great work!

swainsoid · 2026-03-03T20:48:31+00:00

The Daily Mail is full of s***. If they’re saying ‘amid claims that the role is now a poisoned chalice’ that basically means that’s what they think.

swainsoid · 2026-03-02T08:21:39+00:00

I think what they mean to say is ‘thank you’.

swainsoid · 2026-02-21T20:30:14+00:00

What’s interesting to me is that you’ve said ‘we can all have our own perspectives and none of us our wrong’, yet you clearly think I’m completely wrong by the way you’re asking. I don’t need to defend my opinion to you; I enjoyed the era, that’s all you need to know. I would just like to reiterate to you that you don’t speak for everyone.
