yeah, it gets frustrating when you're bombarded with calls by them as well as those PPI/whatever robocalls.

I've cancelled my donations to several charities because of their harassment and their pushiness makes me wonder if they are actually using their money on the people they're claiming to help :/

This doesn't surprise me. Back in about 2002 the company i worked for built a shitty intranet for a major high street charity in the UK. Cost them £100,000...

I'm in the wrong job... :p

Everyone's in the right job. You just have to find customers who don't know how much everyone else charges :)

Haha, cynical but true. Reminds me of this: http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/News/Free-State-govt-We-pa... (R40m is ~$3,211,291)
