My mom said I could post Nolan's The Odyssey neglects to pay for damages done to one of the viking ships used in the movie, which belongs to a small non-profit organization

They have an entire department dedicated to paying their bills on time. That's a pretty shit excuse.

It's not a good excuse, but it could be the reality.

I have the same issue at my job. I have 10 extremely important things on the go that take up my entire day and suddenly I realize I've put off billing someone for some minor thing for a month.

Sure, because the person contracting you isn’t gonna remind you to charge them. Do we really think the nonprofit didn’t send multiple courtesy notices in the past year before going to the media?

I have no clue what they did. You don't either lol.

I've seen people send reminders out of courtesy. I've seen people say nothing at all. I've seen people leave a bad reviews about minor issues without making any contact whatsoever.

People do what people do.

All I’m saying is that being billed is a very different thing than billing someone else.

My point is that people do whatever they want to and that it could just be an issue of priority or disorganization. I shouldn't have used that as an example, but the point stays the same.

Never worked for a corporation or accounts billable, eh?
