The problem I'm having with the designer is we brought her on as not only the designer, but as the "GC" - she would be responsible for coordinating with the POS people and the credit card processor. But now she doesn't want to do that - says it's too hard, everyone is difficult to deal with, it's everyone else's fault, all her work is done, etc.

But what we agreed to pay her was not only for design, but to pull everything all together. Also, in all fairness I can be a loud, sarcastic intimidating fucker when I'm paying someone to do something and it's not getting done. So now she hates me, which is fine as long as the work gets done. But it's not. What I want to do at tomorrow's meeting is initiate getting a backup of all work done to date. What if she pulls out and stops work? I have to start from scratch. I've already paid half and I've seen the site online but I don't have access to it - she holds all the cards.

So I want to figure a way to ask for a backup of everything and then decide if I go with someone else or just tell her to fuck off - I'll coordinate the rest from here on out which is what I'm doing anyway. I don't like paying someone and then doing the work myself - I'm funny that way.

Is Malaysia a third world country? I don't know? Cambodia definitely is, but KL is pretty nice. They also have this thing called Malaysia Vision 2020, that they will be a fully developed country in 6 years - that's their big goal. So I guess they're a country in transition.
