It was one of my first clients, and they gave me a check. I got a vague “we have no idea when we’ll start” vibe from them, and I felt bad about cashing the check. Too bad–I never heard from them again. Next time the check goes in my bank account.

Actually, the client hasn’t disappeared – he has actually given me some other projects to work on (WTH?) which just confuses me further… He’s paid for those projects. But this is one puzzle I don’t have time to solve, so I am going to take your wise advice. I’m going to send him a note about my schedule for the rest of the month and go on with work as usual. 🙂

I’m sure Kimberly has thought of this, but is it a company that has more than one person? If so, she could call the client’s office and speak with a receptionist or administrative assistant and at least find out if he’s out sick, hospitalized, etc.
