Still remembering the hosting client who I had a good relationship with for like 5 years then their admin lady quit and some schmo on their board of directors took on handling me, and suddenly they weren't paying their bills and 6 months later they said "We're going to stop using your services" and I said "Well your domain is expiring in a few months, do you want to transfer it to another host or just let it lapse?" and they said "Lapse it" so I did and then a domainsquatter took it and then they called to say "Huh, we're trying to put up our website but apparently there's something wrong with the DNS?" and I didn't laugh because the whole thing was just sad.

Anyway, if you're involved with a non-profit that's doing good work and there's one hyper-efficient lady that pisses everybody off but keeps the wheels turning, whatever you do do not let her go, throw as much money as you can at her, because you will fall completely to pieces when she leaves.
