Where's My Damn Money!?

Models who work for us get paid in two ways, in cash on the day of the shoot and a monthly royalty check if they enter into a contract with us. These checks are mailed to the models each month, every month as long as there's any money they are owed.

My phone rang about an hour ago with an irate model on the other end of the line. This phone call started off with "where's my damn money?" No hello, no "how ya doin", no polite inquiry as to the status of her check... just yelling. I should say that this behavior isn't totally out of character for this girl, she's a bit of a bitch. She's quite convinced she's the best thing that's ever happened to the planet and expects all men to bow down to her beauty.

I don't bow down to a girl we're paying.

Can you guess what happened? She moved, and of course she didn't tell us about it. She had just expected us to somehow "know" about her move and to adjust automatically. Funny how she wasn't able to explain just how we should have known.

We're not talking about a small check, her royalties can cover her house note, car note and a trip to Bloomingdale's with some change left over. You'd think this would be important enough to her that she would have made a point to let us know where she was. This is also a girl we've been paying for several years, so she knows we always pay on time.

No polite inquiry, no "how ya doing", just a "where's my damn money?"

Her site isn't cleared for us to discuss by name, which is a shame since I'd love to post a very unflattering picture of her right now.
