I'm all for your suggestion, but it kind of
requires Jim's cooperation.
Have you talked to him about it?
Not yet. As with everyone else, I've been having trouble raising him.
But considering the alternatives, I don't think he has any choice in the
matter, or really any say at all.
What pisses me off is that he didn't bother to
communicate status. If I
were in the apparently sad situation Jim is in, I certainly wouldn't want
to piss off the one community that had supported him in the past. I would
have been much more willing to write it off as a loss if he had merely let
me know personally that he couldn't ship anytime soon (or ever) and that
he was using my money for a good cause (like rent).
Yeah, me too. It's too bad he chose this route. Most everyone has been
in this situation before. You just have to communicate.
